Unrest Follows Disputed Election in Tanzania

Tanzania is grappling with significant unrest following a disputed election that has led to widespread protests and violent clashes. The opposition claims that around 700 people have been killed during the protests, while security forces have reported at least 10 fatalities. The military has been deployed in the streets of Dar es Salaam, and a curfew has been imposed as the government attempts to restore order amid escalating violence. Internet access has been cut, and the situation has raised alarm among international observers, including the United Nations, which is urging investigations into the use of force against protesters. Critics argue that the election, widely viewed as a sham, is just another attempt by the ruling party to maintain decades of power while suppressing dissent.
