Clashes leave 7 dead in Mozambique
[Iran Press] Protests over food and fuel prices turn violent for a second consecutive day in Mozambique, leaving at least seven people dead and hundreds injured.
Police used rubber bullets to disperse protesters in the capital, Maputo, on Thursday.
The demonstrators were protesting an unprecedented inflation resulting from the loss of the value of the metical -- Mozambique's currency -- against South Africa's rand.
