Dar es Salaam Curfew Ended After Unrest

Tanzanian police have lifted a night-time curfew in Dar es Salaam following deadly election protests, with life gradually returning to normal as some shops reopen and traffic resumes. President Samia Suluhu Hassan was sworn in after winning 98% of the vote, but the election was criticized for lacking democratic standards, with significant unrest resulting in casualties. Reports indicate at least 500 deaths, while opposition figures remain missing, raising concerns over human rights abuses. The government has downplayed the violence, attributing it to foreign nationals, despite calls for accountability from human rights organizations.
