Dar es Salaam. Tanzania, long revered across Africa as the Island of Peace and a sanctuary for refugees, has for the first time since the return of multiparty politics in the early 1990s experienced streets echoing with gunfire.
The unrest broke out on October 29, 2025, during the General Election, when crowds in Dar es Salaam, Arusha, Mbeya and Mwanza poured into the streets in protest.
