We extend our heartfelt condolences to their families and loved ones. We join the calls made by all four of Mozambique's national political parties in urging a swift and thorough investigation. Those responsible for these crimes must be held accountable. We urge all state institutions, political leaders, citizens and stakeholders to resolve electoral disputes peacefully and lawfully, rejecting violence and inflammatory rhetoric. We also call on all Mozambicans to turn to peaceful means of filing electoral grievances and reject violence and violent rhetoric. The only means to challenge results and demand accountability is through the official complaint process.
