Tanzania’s capital, Dodoma, witnessed renewed protests on the second day of demonstrations, with thousands of citizens defying a government-mandated lockdown. The unrest comes amid growing public frustration over the country’s handling of recent elections, which were marred by violence and allegations of irregularities. Government workers and students, who were ordered to stay home, have been among the most vocal participants in the protests, highlighting widespread discontent.
Authorities have imposed strict restrictions in an attempt to quell the unrest, including curfews and the deployment of security forces. However, protesters have continued to gather in public spaces, demanding accountability for the violence and transparency in the electoral process. The situation has raised concerns about the potential for further escalation, with experts warning of the need for a peaceful resolution to prevent long-term instability in the region.
