Tanzania's post-election violence leaves 518 dead, inquiry finds

A Tanzanian commission concluded that 518 people died in post-election unrest, including 197 shot, with over 2,000 injured; the panel did not name those responsible and called for further investigations. President Samia Suluhu Hassan described the violence as planned and fueled by trained actors, while the opposition labeled the report a whitewash. The inquiry cites economic, political, and social grievances, rejects mass-grave claims, and recommends reforms, a national day of mourning, a criminal inquiry, and a new constitution by 2028 ahead of the next election.
