Police violence reports emerge after Tanzania election row

Since Tanzania‘s disputed polls two weeks ago, the full scale of the post-election violence remains unknown. Witnesses describe bodies lying in the streets, and rights groups say the death toll could be in the hundreds. The government has not addressed the allegations and maintains the country is calm and united.

In Dar es Salaam, life has resumed cautiously. Some victims fear speaking out, and authorities have charged nearly 400 people with election-related offences.

DW journalists were repeatedly stopped by armed police while filming this report.
