At least six people are killed as clashes erupt during protests over soaring prices of food and fuel. At least six people have been shot dead in Mozambique's capital during clashes between police and demonstrators protesting against rising food and fuel prices. High price of bread The protests are believed to have been triggered by a 30 per cent rise in the price of bread in the past year, following soaring wheat prices around the world due to severe drought in Russia and eastern Europe. Mozambique also is heavily dependent on imports from South Africa, which have become more expensive in recent months as the South African rand currency has strengthened. "I can hardly feed myself. I will join the protest because I'm outraged by this high cost of living," Nelfa Temoteo, who lives in the capital's densely populated Malhazine suburb, said. Police appealed for calm on state radio and TV on Wednesday, and said they had made an unspecified number of arrests. Violent protests over high costs, which left at least six people dead, erupted in Mozambique two years ago, when global food prices jumped. |
