Opposition Claims 700 Killed in Tanzania’s Post-Election Violence Amid Crackdown
Tanzania’s main opposition party has alleged that more than 700 people have been killed in post-election violence following President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s disputed victory. The Chadema party accused security forces of using live ammunition against protesters calling for electoral reforms. Government officials dismissed the figures as “grossly exaggerated,” saying operations aimed to restore order after unrest spread to several cities. Rights groups have urged an independent investigation amid growing international concern over the scale of the crackdown.
