1 500 Prisoners Escape From Mozambican Jail

Over 1,500 prisoners escaped from a jail in Maputo, Mozambique, during a riot that resulted in at least 33 deaths and 15 injuries, reported Al Jazeera.

Police General Commander Bernardino Rafael said on Wednesday that 150 escaped prisoners had been recaptured.

The incident coincides with rising civil unrest following October’s disputed elections, which have led to accusations of election rigging against the ruling FRELIMO party.

Rafael also said protests outside the prison contributed to the riot. He said:

The confrontations after that resulted in 33 deaths and 15 injured in the vicinity of the jail.

However, Justice Minister Helena Kida said in an interview with local broadcaster Miramar TV that the unrest originated within the prison and was unrelated to external protests. The identities of those killed and injured remain unclear.

According to a report by the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC), prisoners managed to overpower guards and seize AK-47 rifles, allowing them to escape from the correctional facility.

Mozambican journalist Clemente Carlos said that the escapees likely exploited the reduced number of guards during the Christmas holiday season.

Adriano Nuvunga, director of the Center for Democracy and Human Rights in Mozambique, shared his thoughts on the situation in a post on X on Wednesday:

This shocking incident raises urgent questions about the state of security and the justice system in Mozambique.

Now, more than ever, it is critical for authorities, civil society, and international partners to collaborate to ensure public safety and address the systemic challenges that led to this situation.

Meanwhile, violence over election results on Monday and Tuesday resulted in at least 21 deaths, including two police officers. The unrest included attacks on petrol stations, police stations, and banks.

This latest wave of violence has raised the total death toll in Mozambique to 151 since October 21, according to Plataforma Decide, an election monitoring group.

Haaaa Mozambique ka hakutorina chinhu chinonzi state security...... When demonstrations turn violent resulting in the death of innocent people and looting of private businesses and the destruction of public infrastructure then the participants in the said demonstrations are no longer innocent citizens exercising their democratic right but are now real terrorists engaged in acts of banditry and terrorism so the only language terrorists understand is the language of extreme violence coming from state security agents.......... When the said leader of an opposition doesn't concede defeat after declaration by the constitutional court and goes on to tell his followers that he's going to install himself as the president on the 15th then that said leader is solely responsible for all the destruction and disturbances done by his followers in the name of defending their said vote...... It is then up to the ruling party using state apparatus to face the terrorists head on without mercy so that innocent people and private businesses are protected from criminals pretending to be opposition supporters..........
