POPULAR MOZAMBICAN BLOGGER GUNNED DOWN
In a chilling display of police brutality, a popular Mozambican blogger was shot during a live broadcast on 12 December. Albino Jose Sibia - popularly known @manoshottas - was at the Ressano Garcia border crossing between Mozambique and South Africa when a bullet struck him as he was filming the police crackdown against protesters there.
Minutes into the broadcast, he’s heard saying, 'I got shot, guys, I got shot... I am dying' - after which the recording goes dark. According to local media reports, the young blogger was taken to a nearby hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries the next day.
The violence continued at his funeral, as police officers reportedly gunned down four people along the route that the funeral procession took on the way to the cemetery.
Violent protests have rocked Mozambique since the 9 October disputed elections. The country's electoral commission declared Daniel Chapo, the candidate of the ruling FRELIMO (Front for the Liberation of Mozambique), party the winner - with 70.6% of the votes. The opposition PODEMOS (Mozambican Development Optimist Party) has rejected the results. Its leader, Venancio Mondlane, garnered 20% of the votes, according to the election body.
The last two months have been marked by regular, nationwide protests that have frequently been met with a heavy response from the security forces, resulting in deaths and injuries. On 10 December, Plataforma DECIDE, a Mozambique-based elections monitoring organisation, reported that at least 110 have been killed since the beginning of the protests.
