Violence that engulfed Mozambique after the country’s highest court confirmed ruling party presidential candidate Daniel Chapo as the winner of disputed Oct. 9 elections has killed at least 21 people,

Mozambique's top court has declared election victory for the country’s ruling Frelimo Party and its 47-year-old presidential candidate, Daniel Chapo, in an election process marred by widespread rigging that sparked nearly two months of violent protests,

Mozambique’s top court on Monday confirmed the ruling party Frelimo’s victory in an October election, which has sparked massive protests by opposition groups who say the vote was rigged.

The prisoners took advantage of ongoing political unrest triggered by disputed poll results, police say.

Mozambique’s highest court has upheld the governing party’s win in the October presidential election following weeks of opposition protests in which more than 100 people have died.

Hundreds of buildings were looted or vandalized, according to government officials, in a wave of unrest after Daniel Chapo was confirmed as the winner of Mozambique’s presidential election.

At least 21 people have died since Monday due to political unrest in Mozambique as a political opposition leader vows to become president after losing in questionable elections.

Hundreds of inmates have escaped a prison riot in Mozambique's capital which has left 33 people dead and 15 injured.
