Mozambique has continued to remain tensed following the outcome of the presidential elections which has been largely rejected.
Supporters of the opposition candidate, Venancio Mondlane have been staging rallies denouncing the results of the election which gave victory to the ruling party's Daniel Chapo.
Demonstrations began immediately after the National Election Commission declared Chapo winner of the vote and Mondlane second with slightly over 20%.
Reports revealed that the Police responded by firing tear gas to disperse the protestors who have blocked roads and burning tyres.
Mondlane who is backed by the Podemos party claims he won the vote, and has accused election authorities and the ruling FRELIMO party of fraud and manipulation.
Dozens have been injured and hundreds of protestors detained by the police.
