UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed concern about the unrest in Mozambique, his associate spokesperson said Thursday. "The Secretary-General is concerned about the post-election violence, which has resulted in loss of lives and the destruction of public and private property," Stephanie Tremblay told reporters.

Hundreds of buildings were damaged or looted, including schools and hospitals, in a wave of unrest after Daniel Chapo was confirmed as the winner of the presidential election.
