Deadly riots rock Zimbabwe’s capital as vote results delayed

Soldiers and police fired live rounds, water cannons and tear gas at furious protesters who threw rocks and burned vehicles Wednesday in Zimbabwe’s capital. At least three people were reported killed.

Violence swept through central Harare after an announcement that the ruling ZANU-PF party won most of the seats in Parliament. The electoral commission’s decision to delay announcing the results of the presidential race until at least Thursday was likely to bring more opposition anger if President Emmerson Mnangagwa was declared the winner.
