The BBC reported on new protests against the elections in Tanzania

In Tanzania, mass protests against the election results continue for the third day, despite warnings from the army commander. This was announced on November 1 by the BBC television channel.

Demonstrations are taking place in the largest cities of the country. The participants express their dissatisfaction with the elections, which, in their opinion, were unfair, since leading opposition politicians were not allowed to participate. The country's Internet is still offline, and authorities have extended the curfew in an attempt to stop the unrest.

The UN expressed concern about what was happening, noting the deaths of civilians. According to the organization, "at least ten people died as a result of the protests." At the same time, Amnesty International human rights defenders stated that they could not confirm this information due to communication outages and restrictions on access to information.

The commander of the Tanzanian army, General Jacob John Mkunda, said earlier that the protests were "criminal acts" and promised to restore order together with other security services. However, the demonstrators once again took to the streets of the commercial capital of Dar es Salaam, openly challenging the military.

The election Commission has already announced preliminary results in most regions, and incumbent President Samia Suluhu Hassan, representing the Chama Cha Mapinduzi party, is expected to retain power. The opposition in Zanzibar, where current President Hussein Mwini received about 80% of the vote, has claimed massive violations and fraud.

"People are tired of impunity and demand fair elections," said one of the activists involved in the protests.

Dream against the street: Georgian authorities are increasing pressure on the opposition

Penalties for protest actions have been increased in the country.

Earlier, on October 25, it was reported that in Valencia, Spain, more than 50,000 people took to the streets demanding the resignation of the head of the Generalitat, Carlos Mason. The reason for the protests was dissatisfaction with the authorities' response to the floods a year ago, which killed 229 people.
