Dozens Killed in Tanzania Election Violence
The scale of the deadly unrest in Tanzania has finally been revealed in a landmark government inquiry.
The report details that over 500 people died and thousands more were injured, with hundreds suffering from gunshot wounds during the post-election period.
While the commission pointed to provocations by the opposition, international observers and rights organizations estimate the true death toll could be much higher.
The findings have reignited a fierce debate over the government's handling of dissent and its use of force against its own citizens.
