Police shot dead seven demonstrators and wounded a dozen others in Namicopo neighbourhood, the most densely populated in Nampula. With these victims, the number killed by police is approaching 50 since the demonstrations began on 21 October. The shooting occurred on the Rua da França when the demonstrators were marching from Namicopo towards the Waresta market. The group was intercepted by the police who immediately began to launch tear gas, which led to the dispersal of the demonstrators.
