Mozambique’s new president, Daniel Chapo of the ruling Frelimo party, appointed 12 cabinet ministers on Friday amid ongoing protests over alleged election rigging. At least 308 people have been killed since protests began on Oct. 21, according to election-monitoring group Plataforma Decide.

The Frelimo party has been in power for 50 years—ever since the country’s independence from Portugal in 1975—but young Mozambicans born after the colonial era want to rid the country of a party tainted by graft scandals. It’s part of a trend seen nearby in South Africa, Angola, and Botswana—in which young Africans have turned away from liberation movements due to corruption and poor governance.
