Curfew lifted in Tanzania's main city after election unrest
The Tanzanian police have lifted the night-time curfew in Dar es Salaam following election-related violence, with life gradually returning to normal. In the aftermath of deadly protests, basic essentials were scarce, shops were closed, and unrest disrupted public services. President Samia Suluhu Hassan, who was sworn in after last week's election, is facing criticism over the election process marred by violence and restrictions on opposition leaders. The situation remains tense as families search for missing relatives and the international community raises concerns about human rights abuses.
