There have been sporadic protests in Mozambique’s capital Maputo as the new parliament was sworn into office on Monday. Mozambique has experienced deadly unrest since last October’s disputed election. The security forces have been accused of using excessive force against demonstrators, who say the vote was rigged. President-elect Daniel Chapo has called for calm ahead of his inauguration on Wednesday, and the opposition has called for a strike in protest. Chapo’s Frelimo party has been in power for fifty years.
