Violence erupted in some parts of Tanzania on Wednesday as angry youth engaged anti-riot police in running battles to protest against President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s repression of the opposition.
Several people were reportedly injured in the confrontation after groups of protesters gathered along major highways to demand electoral reforms and free political activity.
