Venâncio Mondlane has declared that he will install himself as president on January 15 after rejecting his defeat in presidential elections.
Mozambique's main opposition leader, Venâncio Mondlane, has declared that he will install himself as president on January 15 after rejecting his defeat in presidential elections.
His announcement came as his supporters staged violent protests across the country to demand an end to the 49-year-rule of the Frelimo party.
The capital Maputo was like a ghost town on Christmas Eve, with almost all businesses shut and people staying at home to avoid being caught up in the worst unrest in the city since Frelimo rose to power at independence in 1975.
Frelimo's offices, police stations, banks and factories have been looted, vandalised and set ablaze around the country.
