Tanzania Cancels Independence Day Event Amid Protest Calls Over Poll Violence | Firstpost Africa

Описание: Tanzania has cancelled its Independence Day celebrations amid protests over election violence from last month. The Prime Minister announced funds for the December 9 event will be used to repair infrastructure damaged in the unrest. Opposition groups demand protests against killings from post-election violence, alleging President Samia Suluhu Hassan's 98% vote win is fraudulent. Notably, rival Tundu Lissu faces treason charges, and the government has faced international pressure, with calls for the ICC to investigate mass killings and human rights violations. Tensions remain high as citizens seek accountability.
