Tanzania lifts curfew and eases internet blackout after post-election violence

Tanzania has begun easing restrictions imposed after last week’s violent elections, with authorities lifting a nationwide curfew and partially restoring internet access. The move comes after days of unrest that the opposition says left hundreds dead. The electoral commission declared President Samia Suluhu Hassan the winner of the October 29 election with 98 percent of the vote, a result the opposition party Chadema dismissed as a “sham.” An AFP correspondent reported a slow return to normalcy in Dar es Salaam on Tuesday. Many residents cautiously resumed daily activities, though fear of renewed violence remained. “I hope violence will not come again,” said Rehema Shehoza, a 32-year-old food vendor. “Some of us would die from hunger because I need to get out for work to get my daily bread.” Police confirmed the lifting of the curfew imposed on election day, and […]

Tanzania protests erupt after disputed election as police clash with demonstrators in Dar es Salaam

Hundreds of demonstrators clashed with police in Tanzania’s commercial capital, Dar es Salaam, for a third consecutive day on Friday, demanding that the national electoral commission halt the release of election results after a chaotic and contested vote. The protests erupted amid a government crackdown that has included military deployment and a near-total internet shutdown. On Thursday, security forces fired tear gas and live ammunition at protesters in the Mbagala, Gongo la Mboto, and Kiluvya neighbourhoods as residents defied a government-imposed curfew. According to reports, several vehicles, police posts, and even a petrol station were set ablaze as anger boiled over. Amnesty International said at least two people have been killed since the demonstrations began earlier in the week. The violence broke out following Wednesday’s general election, which many Tanzanians and rights groups have condemned as unfair and restrictive. President […]

Tanzania Votes as President Samia Suluhu Hassan Heads for Easy Re-Election

Voters across Tanzania are heading to the polls on Wednesday to elect a new president, parliament, and local councillors. But despite the appearance of a competitive race, few doubt the outcome: President Samia Suluhu Hassan is expected to win comfortably, extending the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party’s six-decade hold on power. The CCM—known as the Party of the Revolution—has governed Tanzania uninterrupted for 64 years. And while multiple candidates are listed on the ballot, analysts and rights groups say the field has been heavily tilted in favor of the incumbent. “This election is more of a coronation than a contest,” said political analyst Joseph Mwaipopo. “The opposition has been systematically weakened, leaving voters with little real choice.” Opposition Silenced Before the Vote Human rights organizations have reported widespread intimidation of opposition figures, activists, and journalists ahead of the election.
