Election day in Mozambique, and there has reportedly been a big turn out. Results will be made public near the end of the day, when the polls close, though the wait for official results could take up to two weeks.

I'll keep you posted on how things proceed here, though for the moment the capital Maputo feels like a Sunday in Europe: everything is closed (except this internet cafe i'm relaxing in).
Some more pics...:
- One of the many, many, MANY campaign cars of the ruling FRELIMO party, strong favorite to remain in power after these elections.
- I have it from a good source that "Hakuna Matata" means: 'we don't sell/have potatos here', in the local language Shona (spoken in parts of Mozambique and Zimbabwe). I'm learning so much here!
