Protests, Curfews, and Internet Shutdowns Follow Tanzanian General Election - October 2025

Violence and protests erupted in various towns across Tanzania following the general election, with demonstrations continuing for more than a day. Tanzanian citizens staged protests at the Namanga border, describing the elections as a sham. Reports indicated a low voter turnout nationwide, as initial results showed Samia Suluhu of the Chama Cha Mapinduzi party leading the presidential race. In response to the unrest, police imposed a nationwide curfew, and the government implemented an indefinite dusk-to-dawn curfew in Dar es Salaam. Additionally, social media networks and internet services were shut down in the country one day after the general election protests began.
