Kenya demands safety for its citizens after Tanzania’s post-poll crackdown

# Kenyan citizens are living in fear in Tanzania after reportedly being targeted in a brutal crackdown on the protests that followed last week’s disputed election. President Samia Suluhu Hassan won 98-percent of the vote. Kenya’s Foreign Affairs minister, Musalia Mudavadi, says the rights of some Kenyans had been violated and formal reports had been submitted to Tanzanian authorities for appropriate action. The Tanzanian government has come under intense international scrutiny for allegedly using excessive force to quell post-election protests, which reportedly left hundreds of people dead.
