Tanzania faces global outrage after the opposition accuses security forces of "secretly dumping the bodies" of protesters killed during post-election violence. Following the disputed presidential polls on October 29, demonstrations erupted across Dar es Salaam and other cities over alleged vote rigging. Opposition party CHADEMA claims more than 800 people were killed, while President Samia Suluhu Hassan blames foreign interference. Human Rights Watch condemned the deaths during protests after reported excessive use of force and internet blackouts, urging accountability. Observers from the Southern African Development Community also stated the election fell short of democratic standards, intensifying pressure on the Tanzanian government.
