Photo of four women kneeling in protest in Mozambique in the street. Two hold placards written in Portuguese that read: “Power belongs to God and he bestows it on who He wishes – the chosen! Venâncio Mondlane is the chosen” and "Don’t kill my patients, restock the medicine supplies". Photo credit: Yassmin Forte
