Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, is experiencing moments of tension and violence after the beginning of demonstrations in several areas of the city. The confrontation has intensified as the protests have progressed, resulting in fires in different areas, spreading a climate of fear and insecurity.
Residents of neighborhoods near the epicenter of the demonstrations reported scenes of chaos, with the police using tear gas to disperse the protesters. However, the indiscriminate use of tear gas has also affected residential areas, invading homes and causing discomfort and panic among families. Children, the elderly and other civilians have been the most affected by the irritation caused by the gas, which has made breathing difficult and created a climate of great apprehension.
There is still no official confirmation of the number of injured, but reports indicate that the situation is out of control, with people being hospitalized due to the effects of the gas and the violence in the clashes. Residents fear more damage, as the climate of instability persists and local authorities have not yet provided a definitive answer about the situation.
The demonstration, which initially sought to draw attention to political and social issues, turned into a scene of open confrontation, leaving a trail of destruction across the city.
The population is calling for urgent measures to resolve the crisis, while the authorities are trying to regain control of the situation with a reinforced police operation. The future of the capital depends on a peaceful solution to the impasse, which promises to continue in the coming days.
Amid all this, the people of Maputo are calling for security and an immediate end to the suffering on the streets and in their homes. The international community is also closely monitoring the developments.
