People in Mozambique are angry and protesting again. The big court said the ruling party's man, Daniel Chapo, won the October vote. Many think the vote wasn't fair.

When they first shared who won, deadly fights broke out. The second-place winner, Venâncio Mondlane, told his friends to protest. He thinks someone cheated in the vote.

On Monday, crowds filled the streets. They yelled Mondlane's name and lit fires. They blocked roads with stuff and threw rocks at police. The police shot tear gas back at them.

Mondlane ran away from Mozambique. He left after bad people killed two of his helpers in October. The police scared him, he said. He talked on the internet and warned more people might rise up if they don't change who won.

The court changed some numbers about who won. At first, they said Chapo got 71% of votes and Mondlane got 20%. The new count says Chapo got 65% and Mondlane got 24%.

The streets of Maputo looked strange that day. The busy city turned quiet. No cars moved on the roads. The place has been like this since October 21, when people started showing how mad they were.
