Tanzania 'Massacre': Ruthless Dictator Or People's Champ? Prez Hassan Rechristened 'Idi Amin Mama'

First grainy footage from smartphones emerged, shaking hands capturing the moment Tanzania's election day turned into a bloodbath. Hundreds of young people, many barely out of their teens, lay bleeding on the streets of Dar es Salaam. Security forces, shooting point-blank into crowds of unarmed protesters. The government later claim the death toll didn't exceed double digits. The opposition says it's closer to a thousand. The truth, buried beneath severed internet connections and internet shutdowns, remains elusive. But one thing is certain: Tanzania, once East Africa's anchor of stability, had descended into something darker. This is the story of Samia Suluhu Hassan, Tanzania's first female president who promised reconciliation and became the architect of a new authoritarianism.
