Tanzania unrest escalates as opposition alleges mass killings after disputed vote
Tanzanian riot police walk past a vandalised campaign poster of President Samia Suluhu Hassan after a general election marred by violent protests at the Namanga One-Stop Border Post between Kenya and Tanzania on October 30, 2025.
Tanzania's main opposition party said on Friday hundreds of people had been killed in protests over elections across the country this week, as the government said it was restoring order after "isolated incidents".
The United Nations (UN) said credible reports indicated at least 10 people were killed in protests in three cities, the first public estimate of any fatalities by an international body since Wednesday's vote.
