Mozambique faces near-total devastation as violent post-election protests continue, claiming over eighteen lives since unrest erupted last month. Demonstrations intensified yesterday as citizens joined a nationwide "Freedom Day" march, challenging October’s election results that granted victory to Frelimo, the ruling party in power since 1975, with over 70% of the vote. Opposition leader Venancio Mondlane disputes the outcome, igniting widespread clashes with police. With Mozambique’s Lebombo border post closed due to infrastructure destruction, media analyst Egidio G. Vaz Raposo joins us virtually to provide an on-the-ground perspective on the unfolding crisis.
