(BBC) Fresh protests have erupted across Tanzania’s major cities, a day after elections marred by clashes between opposition supporters and police.
Gunfire was reported in Mwanza, while unrest broke out in Dodoma and Dar es Salaam, which remains under heavy security with major roads blocked.
Protesters accuse the government of undermining democracy, as one opposition leader remains jailed and another was barred from the presidential race, developments seen as boosting President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s chances.
Rights group Amnesty International described reports of a civilian and a police officer killed in Wednesday’s clashes as “deeply disturbing.”
