Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 67573, member: 636"] Tanzanian authorities have ended a nighttime curfew in Dar es Salaam that was established following violent clashes after disputed elections, though the country continues recovering from unrest that shut down internet access and closed most businesses. The government cut connectivity across the nation while stores remained shuttered amid shortages and price increases, with schools and public transportation also halted. By Tuesday, some businesses had reopened and vehicles returned to roads, although fuel station lines persisted in the commercial hub. Families are still locating or burying loved ones killed when security personnel confronted opposition demonstrators who rejected the voting as fraudulent. Regional observers from the Southern African Development Community determined the election failed to meet democratic benchmarks. Opposition figure Tundu Lissu faces treason accusations he rejects while authorities blocked Luhaga Mpina from running. His Chadema movement reported at least 800 fatalities by Saturday, and diplomatic sources indicated credible evidence of 500 deaths, though United Nations rights officials cited reports of 10 deaths across three urban areas. Officials have not released casualty numbers. A hospital physician described municipal vehicles removing bodies at night to undisclosed locations while police transported survivors from emergency wards before recovery. President Samia Suluhu Hassan mentioned loss of life during her swearing-in but suggested foreign involvement in the violence. [/QUOTE]
