Tanzania's first mass protest in three years under way

Earlier, we reported that Tanzania's main opposition party was about to begin a protest in the main city of Dar es Salaam.

The demonstration - the first mass protest permitted since President Samia Suluhu Hassan took power in 2021 - has begun.

Attendees are riding through the streets on motorcycles, while others are walking, waving flags bearing the colour of the opposition Chadema party.

Police officers are on the scene, walking alongside the protesters.
