Protests have erupted across Tanzanian cities including Dar es Salaam following the October 29 election, where President Samia Suluhu Hassan leads amid opposition boycotts due to disqualifications, arrests, and reported irregularities like ballot stuffing.

Demonstrators clash with security forces using tear gas and live rounds, resulting in at least two confirmed deaths and unverified higher casualties, while the military deploys, internet access is shut down, and a curfew is enforced in the capital.

Crowds demand Hassan’s ouster, target ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi party symbols, and block airports to prevent elites from fleeing, with regional solidarity from Kenyan activists at the border.
