Post-election raid turns deadly in Zambia amid tensions
A post-election security operation at opposition leader Brian Mundubile’s home in Zambia killed former cabinet minister Mutotwe Kafwaya and left 11 people detained as authorities say they were dismantling a suspected militia; Mundubile said Kafwaya was shot while the raid occurred, with the government framing the operation as protecting state security. The August 13 election gave President Hakainde Hichilema about 60% amid opposition claims of irregularities and intimidation, and a legal challenge is anticipated; UN urged respect for due process amid rising tensions.
