The Republic of Mozambique Police (PRM) has confirmed that more than 90 inmates who escaped from the Ile district jail in Zambezia are on the run and that the corporation has no information about their whereabouts, but that it is continuing its efforts to recapture them.

Around 200 prisoners have been released from three prisons in the country, in the districts of Chibuto in Gaza and in the districts of Ile and Morrumbala in Zambezia, following the vandalization of the establishments by demonstrators protesting against what presidential candidate Venâncio Mondlane calls "electoral fraud".

However, this Monday (16), according to a publication by VOAIn another broadcast on his Facebook page, the PODEMOS presidential candidate announced the extension of what he called a "truce" in the demonstrations.

"This will be a week of solidarity. We're not going to start taking drastic measures at a time when our brothers and sisters need help," said Mondlane, who justified the truce as a pause to show solidarity with the victims of cyclone Chido and to pay homage to the dead victims of the popular demonstrations, as well as the lawyer Elvino Dias and the representative of Podemos, Paulo Guambe, who were murdered on October 19.
