Uchunguzi wa DW umebaini ushahidi wa kuaminika unaoonyesha kuwa vikosi vya usalama vilitumia nguvu za kikatili dhidi ya raia wakati wa vurugu zilizofuata uchaguzi wa Oktoba 29 nchini Tanzania.
Maandamano yalizuka katika miji mikubwa ikiwemo Mwanza, Dar es Salaam na Arusha baada ya vyama vya upinzani na wakosoaji kulalamikia dosari katika uchaguzi na kuondolewa kwa wagombea muhimu. Serikali iliweka marufuku ya kutotoka nje jioni na kuzima mtandao wa intaneti huku vurugu zikienea nchini kote.

Mwanza, mashuhuda waliiambia DW kuwa wakazi wasio na silaha walipigwa risasi na kuuawa katika maeneo ya makazi. Katika tukio moja Kisesa, polisi walidaiwa kuwaamuru wanaume wanne walale chini kisha wakawapiga risasi kwa karibu. Tukio lingine lilitokea Mji Mwema ambapo watu waliokuwa wakitazama habari ndani ya ukumbi wa video walishambuliwa kwa risasi, na baadhi kuuawa huku wengine wakijeruhiwa. Miili ilidaiwa kuchukuliwa baadaye na wanajeshi.

Uchambuzi wa kitaalamu wa risasi ulionyesha kuwa zilikuwa za aina inayotumiwa na polisi na jeshi la Tanzania. Hati ya ndani ya polisi iliyovuja kwa DW iliorodhesha vifo vya raia kadhaa.
Takwimu za mashirika ya haki za binadamu na Umoja wa Mataifa zinaeleza kuwa mamia ya watu waliuawa nchini kote, ingawa idadi kamili bado haijathibitishwa. Serikali haijatoa majibu ya wazi kuhusu tuhuma hizo, huku uchunguzi ukiendelea.

A DW investigation into two major incidents in Mwanza region found evidence of atrocities. Eyewitness and survivor accounts, leaked police files, ballistics reports and geolocation data indicate the use of lethal force. Survivors and eyewitnesses told DW that unarmed civilians were gunned down and soldiers later removed the bodies.
A DW investigation found that during that blackout in Mwanza, security forces gunned down people in residential areas. A government investigation is underway. UN experts estimate at least 700 individuals were killed and the opposition puts the number at up to 2,000 countrywide.
DW cannot confirm those figures, but we found evidence to suggest that many of the victims in Mwanza were not protesters. The first incident occurred in Kisesa, a town along the road between Mwanza and the suburb of Mji Mwema.
The road became a death artery on the night of October 29 into October 30. According to multiple eyewitnesses, police killed four men in Kisesa at around 7 p.m., after a day of protests.
All survivors and eyewitnesses spoke to DW on condition of anonymity. They say police are trying to silence them and destroy evidence.
Ballistics and removal of bodies
Using geolocation data and eyewitness accounts, DW traced the attackers' movements: The shooters approached the video hall from the south, first attacking people near the TAG Church Nyasaka Center before driving about one minute up the road to the video hall.DW obtained several bullets from both the Kisesa and Mji Mwema incidents. Ballistics expert Byron Adera examined the images.
"You can almost certainly say 7.62 by 39 millimeters," Adera said. "They are ammunition widely used by small arms and light weapons of the nature of AK-47 variants."
Those weapons, he said, are standard issue. "In Tanzania, the small arms and light weapons of the type of AK-47 happen to be the majority of the first-line weapon systems in the hands of the Tanzanian police," Adera said. "And, of course, the defense forces also use AK-47 variants."
