Tanzania Post-Election Violence: Hassan Justifies Killings of Protesters | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Описание: Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan has publicly justified the fatal crackdown on protesters following the recent contested election, claiming the use of "substantial force" was necessary to prevent the "overthrow of the government." In a speech from Dar es Salaam, Hassan defended the actions, dismissing the unrest as "chaos" and not legitimate demonstrations. The election, held on October 29, saw Hassan retain the presidency with 98 percent of the vote after major opposition candidates were jailed or disqualified, leading critics to allege the poll was rigged. Opposition and rights groups claim over 1,000 people were shot dead during three days of protests. Hassan's government has faced international condemnation over the crackdown on critics and protesters, with the UN calling for an investigation and the European Parliament considering a block on aid.
