Hundreds Killed in Tanzania Protests

Tanzania’s post-election protests have left over 700 people dead. Demonstrations erupted after President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s main challengers were barred from the October 29 election, leaving her largely unopposed. Protests, concentrated in Dar es Salaam and Mwanza but spreading nationwide, involved clashes with police and military forces. The government imposed a curfew, restricted internet access, and restricted media coverage as security forces used live ammunition and teargas to disperse crowds.
