At least ten people were shot dead and 63 more injured as a result of last week's post-election protests in Mozambique.

This is according to medical associations as the southern African nation braces for further demonstrations.

Protests broke out before and after Mozambique's electoral commission announced that the ruling party Frelimo had won the October 9 poll, extending its 49 years in power.

Opposition candidates, civil society groups and observers said the election had been rigged.
