At least 56 people have been killed in Mozambique since Monday6dcasino, a nongovernmental organization said on Wednesday, as police officers and protesters clashed in the latest wave of unrest over a presidential election that demonstrators claim was rigged by the governing party.

At Maputo Central Prison, which housed 2,500 inmates, more than 1,530 prisoners escaped, a police commander, Bernardino Rafael, said at news conference on Wednesday. Thirty-three prisoners were killed and 15 others wounded in a confrontation with guards trying to prevent detainees from fleeing, he said.

“Within the next few hours,” Mr. Rafael said, “150 of the escapees were recaptured by the authorities.”

In the dwindling days of a spectacularly dreadful season, many White Sox fans are averting their eyes. On Sunday, the team lost for the 120th time this year, tying the major league record for most losses by a modern-day team in a single season.

Mr. Boileau was arrested on Friday and released on $30,000 bond on Saturday, his attorney, Jimmie Sparrow, said.

Tensions escalated this week after the nation’s top court on Monday upheld the result of the election in favor of Daniel Chapo, the candidate for Frelimo, which has governed Mozambique since it gained independence from Portugal in 1975.

The political unrest comes as the southern African country is working to recover from Cyclone Chido. Mozambique’s death toll from the storm has risen to 120 since it made landfall more than a week ago, according to the country’s National Institute for Natural Disasters.

The death toll has nearly quadrupled from initial reported figures as rescue workers reach isolated rural areas. Most of those who died were in the province of Cabo Delgado, where hundreds of thousands of people had already fled their homes after years of attacks by an insurgent group backed by the Islamic State. The storm has affected more than 450,000 people in the country, the natural disaster institute said.
