The Southern African Development Community (Sadc) has called for an extraordinary summit to address the deepening post-election crisis in Mozambique, as deadly protests continue to spread across the country.

Rights groups say at least 18 people have been killed by security forces since protests erupted after the disputed October 9 election, which was won by the ruling Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (Frelimo).
