TOPSHOT - Mens stand next to a burning barricade in Lusaka CBD, on August 13, 2021 where Zambian Defence Forces and Zambian policemen have been active the whole day clearing street-side stalls and forcing minivan drivers to collect passengers in small side streets rather than in major thoroughfares. - Vote counting was underway in Zambia on August 13, 2021 after a hard-fought general election that saw sporadic clashes and troop reinforcements dispatched to three provinces. The ballot is expected to be the tightest yet in the third successive standoff between President Edgar Lungu, 64, and veteran opposition candidate Hakainde Hichilema, 59.
