Tanzania commission finds 518 protest deaths

A government commission in Tanzania has reported 518 deaths from 'unnatural causes' during protests that erupted after President Samia Suluhu Hassan claimed 98% of the vote in the country's 2025 election. The commission did not assign responsibility for the deaths. The findings highlight the severe human cost of the post-election unrest. The government has not yet issued a formal response to the commission's report.
