Mozambique’s top court confirmed the ruling party’s win in October’s presidential election.
The election results were disputed by the opposition leading to deadly street protests.
The opposition says the vote was rigged – and has warned of more violence ahead of the Constitutional Council’s ruling.
The unrest that followed the election is already causing significant damage to the economy.
Al Jazeera’s Haru Mutasa reports live from Maputo, Mozambique.
Adriano Nuvunga is a Director at the Center for Democracy and Human Rights, which promotes democracy and protects human rights in Mozambique.
He joins us now from Maputo.

What happened with those Zimbabweans who voted for Frelimo
Free Moçambique
O povo está no poder
Many of us didn’t vote for FRELIMO party
We don’t want this thieving Frelixo Government
Gracas adeus VIVA FRELIMO
Assassinos
Feeling never win elections but they rigg election lyke Zanu pf people from Zimbabwe never vote for ZANU pf but they still win because of rigg, pliz don’t go to court because the courts captured by frelimo lyke here in Zim
Mozambique court must arrest chapo, rigging elections and corruption with Munangagwa, this old mans must go to jail, i am a Zimbabwean mara i really support Mozambique people,,, Daniel Chapo u must free Mozambique u must go
Politics is a dirty game why these pple never include SADC members on what they did to the nation of Moz to reach at this stage on their table ?
The chairman of SADC must be arrested coz he is the causer
If a country crash it take years to build it up
Bless Mozambique. Since the constitution has already confirmed the election results, continuing protests without the possibility of overturning the government would lead to a significant disaster. Prolonged turmoil ultimately harms ordinary citizens. Politicians must take responsibility and learn to negotiate and compromise for the welfare of Mozambique. Stability should take precedence above all else; development is the ultimate truth.
This is what I m trying to told these people don’t hurt people from other countries there is no fault of them 😔 hope they understand and also burning their own resources is not a wise decision
Let’s pray for Mozambique 🇲🇿 🙏 country is on fire 🔥
Please don’t hurt people from other countries who gone for finding job there is no fault of them
Hope you guys understand
I hope your people will get their right , protest but don’t hurt people who don’t belong to your country
I am asking a question why your people burning their resources
There is a political and economic problem and there is also a problem of sharing the country’s underground wealth, but most of these protesters are thieves and drug addicts, they are just saboteurs.
this day light rigging because the percentage is now different the first president results was 70℅ now 65℅
Power to Mozambique people ~ from SA
Frelimo didn’t won the elections in Mozambique.
Mondlane is the winner of these elections 9/10/2024.
Viva engineer Mondlane ✊
O país tem dono que é o povo
Venancio is no different from Bin Laden, a terrorist.
What a gud reporter
O que vai salvar Moçambique é o Chapo render-se e saber que o povo não o quer de jeito nenhum
Ladies and gentlemen, we will fight for our freedom regardless of the results that we know aren’t true. Let’s jointly break free our Mozambique 🇲🇿
Hi
Please don’t hurt people from other countries who gone for finding job , there is a family who depend on the
Protest is your people right it please don’t hurt people
Love from India 😊
Frelimo want lead by force. Same like Maduro use to do in Venezuela.
Why frelimo didn’t take a good example of Botswana Government ????
Frelimo just want to win elections and do nothing for the people.
We didn’t vote FRELIMO in Mozambique
We know to whom voted
Free Mozambique
Very contradictory guest. He sounds like he’s got an agenda to push. Thank you interviewer for pushing back at hyperbolic statements
Maputo is ashes. Police stations burnt down. Shops looted. Roads blocked. I don’t think Frelimo will have easy time ruling people who did not vote them. Tough days ahead.
How to know whether It Is the entire population who Is unsatisfied? As Nuvunga tries to answer: the last ten years which Nyusi has been governing has led the majority of the population to the extreme poverty, the basic sectors such education and Healthy are in crise as well. As for education, there have been so many serious mistakes on the books, by the way which are a few of them because the arranged budget has not been totally channelled. As for the healthy sectors, there are not the basic/most important pills/tablets available there although the budget Is channelled, so citizens will often have to pay for them at private pharmacies which actually belongs to members of the government. So, let’s wonder, In a country where the majority Is poor and completely dependent on these basic services which do not satisfy their needs, I mean among the badly paid police, teacher and nurses and the big majority of unemployed citizens could there be anyone satisfied with the ruling party?
I want to ask a question are you guys told your government dictator
Please don’t hurt people from other countries there is no fault of them 😔
The ruling party is the one responsible for all of this. I mean they could have prevent foreigners from being attacked yet ignored the fact. Being direct, I mean they don’t care about you and anyone else but themselves.
As Mozambicans, we do not recognize these results.
This is so sad, I’m Mozambican, we deserve better life, new government… my people are suffering, living as animals, dying… May God help us, we really hope for Divine Intervention.😢
LOL
Please do also report on what is happening in the north of the country Nampula where by all the shop own by refugee has been vandalized at night. Please check it out
Oh so African 😅
We didn’t voted in frelimo…we voted Venâncio Mondlane.
Venâncio Mondlane is our President for sure
The Opposition is 70% of the whole Population! The whole Country is against the corupt governmen!
Eu sou Moçambicano pedimos ajuda
We want Venâncio Mondlane,not tchapo.
This happens in SA regularly.
It’s incredible that a government was elected that was not legitimized by the people, this is unacceptable. We are tired of these corrupt leaders, thieves, murderers, kidnappers, unfair and unable to provide the basics for the people. We are facing a group of bandits who assaulted the power of the people in Mozambique, so we ask for help from all living forces in the world
Your fight is against evel, I pray that God is with you .
I pray that people of Mozambique will get their democratic right back
Please 🥺🙏 don’t hurt people from other countries like India there is not any fault of them
You guys goona win remember nelson mandela he is great leader
So please don’t hurt people who doesn’t belong to your country it is request
Ghana needly had something like this but God’s wisdom spared Ghana.
If you study the history of Mozambique from the independence 1975, you Will understand the reason of today’s situation and why Mozambique is the 5th poorest country of the world
We didn’t vote Frelimo, how can someone vote for killers, thiefs, kidnapers, liars, how? Please help our country
Please don’t hurt people from other countries who gone for finding job there is no fault of them 😔
@ShubhamKumar-jp7yz We ain’t doing that my brother, we want Frelimo, we live in harmony with everyone, from any country
@@SxgreenOT that’s what humanity means
I support your protest , it is unfair to your people that they cannot able to select their own ruler ,it is really unfair
Support from INDIA 🇮🇳
Please protest without violence
In our school we read about nelson mandela such a great leader of South Africa 🌍
You guys suffered a lot like India in eighteenth and nineteenth century
Hope better live for your people
The results are unfair
Free Mozambique
The Citizens of Mozambique need the justice ⚖️😢
Please don’t hurt people from other countries who gone for finding job there is no fault of them please 🥺
We voted Venancio Mondlane (VM7).
He is our president.
These elections should be invalidated. The truth is that the majority voted for Venâncio
Save us😭 Trup look after us please Mozambique needs you
During protest please don’t hurt people from other countries who gone for finding job there is no fault of them please 🥺
Very sad Destroyed thary on country
Assuming this protesters are focusing on government, it would have been better, but vandalizing foreigners shops and looting goods worth millions is pure jealousy and wickedness
If you come to Matola now, you will weep for foreigners(Chinese, Pakistani people and others) whose shops worth millions have been emptied
Hlo I know bro why people burning their own resources
@@WinniePascalplease tell me people from other countries are safe or not please reply
@@WinniePascal which side army is❓
Foreigners are safe cause they’re all at home, it’s just sad that some will have to start struggling afresh, cause of how the citizens vandalized and stole everything in their shops, and this are things worth millions
So many Bangladeshi shops are being looted in Mozambique, you can’t leave them on video, how many of our Bengalis have become helpless. Please save us from robbers, many of our Bangladeshi brothers have died. Please protect us
Bro please stay safe
Can you. Please describe condition of people from other countries
There is my family members
Al jazeera, as always, are in the forefront, reporting relevant news, not some fake BS associated with futile narrative
As a Mozambican who understands the root cases of the current unrest that is due to electoral fraud, which once again the politicised constitutional court ruled against the popular vote. So my brothers and sisters INDEPENDENCIA OU MORTE
Same as all African countries, greed has the top political parties holding onto power and they rape the Country dry of every resource without thinking about the consequences and total disregard for the poor or the future😡😡😡
We don’t want Frelimo, please help us.
No one voted Chapo, We Want Venâncio
This is problem. Judges on the payroll of government. 49 years one party is not normal.
You crying for single party ruling for 49 yrs while in UGANDA one man have ruled for the same amount of years what will they say about that 😢😢😢
Communism
The same in Cuba
Venezuela
Unfortunately communism doesn’t benefits the people only the ones in power
Be strong Mozambique fight for freedom
Queremos liberdade, paz e prosperidade em Moçambique e isso não é possível com a Frelimo.
Este País é nosso e queremos Venâncio Mondlane para nos liderar
Hi please bro do your protest peacefully don’t hurt people who doesn’t belong to your country
Hope your guys will get their demand ,
I want to ask a question ⁉️ that which side army and police are because they are main organising body if they refused to work it will goone get some results
Frelimo is a terrorist regime…
Al Jazeera, between the people and court, who’s right? Judge for yourself!
Freedom for my cantry
The opposition leader in Mozambique should face the full Force of law. Its ckear he lost elections and inciting violence is not right.
Why violance bro raise your voice through social media INDIA 🇮🇳 will goona help your people
Please don’t hurt people from India
Can I ask you a question ❓ why are your people burning their own resources after all it is their resources
As Mozambican Citizen who voted for change, I refuse these results. Actual no one voted FRELIMO in Mozambique. the european union and the sadc are pretending to not see million of mozambicans being held hostage by a party hat we all hate
We’re protesting for the Electoral Truth and Justice. Venâncio Mondlane won the elections for the presidency in Mozambique; but once again FRELIMO (the ruling party since Mozambique’s independence, running the country for nearly 50 years) rigged the elections and announced their candidate as the winner. Mozambique is one of the poorest countries in the world while being one the world’s richest in minerals, gas, coal, land, beautiful coast… More than 60% of our people live in extreme poverty while the elite running the country live like billionaires with mansions in Mozambique and overseas. We have no education, no hospitals, no infrastructure. We’ve voted for Venâncio Mondlane but they are trying to take the voting power of our people away. We’ve had enough of the injustice, the killings, the kidnappings, the poverty and the police brutality as we peacefully protest. More than 100 people have been murdered by the police and many are missing! We want change. Our President Venâncio Mondlane won with 53% when Frelimo got around 20+%. We’ve presented over 300 kilos of evidence to the Constitutional Council which proves that Venâncio won on a landslide. We don’t want the elections to be cancelled! We don’t need an emergency government! We don’t need a unity interim government! We just want Venâncio to be announced the rightful winner of the Elections this past October 9th and take over our nation.
POWER TO THE PEOPLE 💪🇲🇿❤️

Sadc allow violence to continue on Mozambique??People of Mozambique must be listened to ..The ruling regime must come back to their senses..it’s not good fighting citizens of Mozambique..just listen to their grievances and address their needs and wants as sovereign citizens..Make Mozambique great again
African nations still caught in mental slavery.
Opovo voto venacio.

We are fighting for out freedom
I voted VENÂNCIO MONDLANE, NO FRELIMO
Is it a correct or just favouring the ruling party
The United Snakes picked the leader
We will show the rest of Africa how to deal with dictatorship
Moz has the strongest people in Africa and an example to b followed by many
this looks exactly like Haiti

These people they are against Chapo and shouting thief..but what they are doing? They are also stealing. Nyusi is behind this for he doesn’t want to go down
It’s a sad situation seeing what happening in our neighbors _ i blame thousands of ppl who remained in SA n failed to cast their vote 🤞🏿😏
Compare this exaggerated coverage to the months of riots in Paris against macron.
This ishow they begin justification for foreign military intervention
If the ruling party says that they won , and that the mojarity people voted for them , then why is there unrest in your country ?.
Why hasn’t other African nations ratified the election
