At least two children and one other person were shot dead in clashes between police and rioters as protests against rising prices spread across the Mozambican capital Maputo on Wednesday, police said. "Two children have been killed in the suburb of Mafalala. Live bullets are being used because in some areas police ran out of rubber bullets," police spokesman Arnaldo Chefo told Reuters. "There is looting and vandalisation. Shops including banks in the Central Business District are closed," Chefo said.
