Tanzania’s Opposition on Friday said hundreds of people had been killed in protests over elections across the country this week as the government said it was restoring order after “isolated incidents”.

The UN said credible reports stated 10 people were killed in protests, the first public estimate of any fatalities by an international body since Wednesday’s vote. The government has not released any estimates on casualties. Protesters have been angered by the exclusion of President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s two key challengers from the race in an act of “widespread repression”.
