What is the immediate impact of the post-election violence in Mozambique?

At least 90 people have died in Mozambique since the October 9 elections due to ongoing violence, according to the local civil society movement Plataforma Decide. The police have confirmed five deaths on Wednesday alone, with some victims crushed and beaten during protests in Nampula and Maputo provinces. These deaths follow the assassination of two opposition figures in Maputo on October 21, which sparked the initial wave of protests.
