Tanzania reels from deadly poll violence as probe deepens

Prime Minister Mwigulu Nchemba called for national solidarity while an independent panel investigates the deadly violence that erupted during the late October polling, which left citizens wounded and killed. The premier addressed journalists at the Mwalimu Nyerere Conference Centre, describing bloodshed as profoundly tragic while urging Tanzanians to prevent the repetition of the traumatic episode that inflicted lasting psychological scars.

Nchemba insisted President Samia Suluhu Hassan assembled distinguished legal experts possessing impeccable credentials to examine the disturbances, warning against attempts to undermine the inquiry's legitimacy. The government leader acknowledged differing viewpoints exist, yet emphasized commissioners warrant freedom to conduct their examination without obstruction, given their extensive judicial backgrounds and established reputations for integrity.
