At least two children and one other person were shot dead in clashes between police and rioters as protests against rising prices spread across the Mozambican capital Maputo on Wednesday, police said.
“Two children have been killed in the suburb of Mafalala. Live bullets are being used because in some areas police ran out of rubber bullets,” police spokesman Arnaldo Chefo told Reuters. There also was looting and vandalism as protesters burned tires and blocked roads, witnesses said. “There is looting and ‘vandalization. Shops including banks in the Central Business District are closed,” Chefo said. Residents of the impoverished southern African state say they have been hit by rising costs for basic necessities including bread, with soaring costs for fuel and other essentials adding to their troubles. The government increased prices on bread by 30 percent on Wednesday, which helped spark the protest.
