Violent
protests erupted near a bus park in the Ubungu area of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
today.
Police and
soldiers were deployed after mobs of people began burning tires, setting up
makeshift roadblocks and attacking several vehicle drivers in the area.
Witnesses on
the ground reported to Warrior Security that security forces fired teargas to
disperse the crowd of protesters. There were also some reports of live bullets
being shot into the air as well.
It’s
believed the protest is related to striking passenger bus drivers’ labour
action.
