Tanzania Erupts After 'Sham' Elections, Protests Grows Against President Samia Suluhu Hass

Fri, 31 Oct 2025 02:31:12 +0000

Protests have escalated in major cities across Tanzania as opposition supporters denounce the recent presidential and parliamentary elections as a sham. Hundreds of demonstrators also crossed into Kenyan territory, barricading roads, lighting bonfires and tearing down posters of President Samia Suluhu Hassan along the way. Kenyan police said two people died after fleeing running battles with Tanzanian police. Protesters accuse the government of undermining democracy, as the main opposition leader is in jail and another opposition figure was disqualified from the election, bolstering Samia's chances of winning.
