The Southern African Development Community (Sadc) has called for an extraordinary summit to address the deepening post-election crisis in Mozambique, as deadly protests continue to spread across the country. Zimbabwe, which chairs Sadc, said the regional leaders would meet in Harare between November 16 and 20 “to address issues of regional significance”. He will chair the regional body’s extraordinary meeting that is expected to find a lasting solution to the crisis in Mozambique. Frelimo has been in power in Mozambique since independence from Portugal in 1975. Former opposition leader Duma Boko of the Umbrella for Democratic Change will be inaugurated as the new leader on Friday.
