Tanzanian police have issued a warning against sharing images online that could "cause panic" following violent protests related to the country's recent general election, where the opposition claims hundreds were killed. This warning comes as internet access is restored after a five-day shutdown.

• The country's main opposition party, CHADEMA, documented hundreds of deaths during protests linked to the disqualification of President Samia Suluhu Hassan's challengers during the November 4, 2025 election.
• The police's text message to cell phone users states, "Avoid sharing pictures or videos that cause panic or degrade a person's dignity. Doing so is a criminal offense, and if identified, strict legal action will be taken."
• Viral Scout Management, a sports consultancy, reported that seven young soccer players it represented, aged 15 to 22, were shot and killed in their homes during the protests.
• President Hassan, re-sworn into office on Monday after securing 98% of the vote, acknowledged deaths but her government denies allegations of excessive force.
• U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for an investigation into allegations of excessive use of force on Friday.
