Mozambique Opposition Calls for Fresh Protests over Alleged Election Fraud 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Mozambique, opposition leader Venāncio Mondlane is calling on
supporters to join him in another wave of protests in the capital Maputo
following days of deadly clashes with police forces. Mozambique
authorities have unleashed a brutal crackdown on protesters who've taken
to the streets over allegations of fraud in the October 9 presidential
and parliamentary elections, Mozambique's debt crisis, corruption and
other issues. Human Rights Watch reports Mozambique armed forces have
killed at least 11 protesters, leaving dozens more injured.
