The former finance minister of Mozambique, Manuel Chang, was sentenced to eight and a half years in prison for his role in a $2 billion fraud. His actions betrayed the trust of the people of Mozambique and defrauded international investors, particularly from the United States.

A suspected riot inside a jail in Mozambique's capital has left at least 33 people dead and 15 injured, while more than 1,500 prisoners escaped, authorities said. Police general commander Bernardino Rafael noted that 150 of the prisoners who fled the prison have been recaptured, with some attributing the unrest to post-election tensions, reflecting the widespread discontent after the October elections were deemed disputed.
