Mondlane’s return to Maputo’s Mavalane International Airport was marked by dramatic scenes as security forces deployed tear gas to disperse hundreds of supporters who had gathered to welcome him. Arriving with a bible in hand, Mondlane knelt in the arrivals hall and vowed to continue his fight against what he described as a flawed electoral process.
“I want to fight within this country and I will, until the very end, keep fighting for this country,” Mondlane said. “I’m not willing to accept election results if they are the same as those announced up until now.”
