Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan was to be inaugurated Monday with the internet still blocked after election protests in which the opposition says hundreds were killed by security forces. The diplomatic source said there were "concerning reports" that police were using the internet blackout to buy time as they "hunt down opposition members and protesters who might have videos" of atrocities committed last week.

Protesters have taken to the streets in Tanzania for a third day, defying warnings from the country's army chief to end the unrest.
