00:00A year after Tanzania's disputed election, the country is still confronting the legacy of deadly violence.
00:07Survivors say they remain traumatized, while government critiques face arrests, abductions and serious criminal charges.
00:15Right groups and oppositions say thousands were killed during the protest, while government-appointed commission put the death toll at
00:225.18.
00:25But this collaboration is also a lesson for us that sometimes it is better to sit at the table and
00:31reach arguments and understandings in a just and peaceful way, rather than resorting to force.
00:41Sometimes it is good for both sides to be patient, for our citizens and for the government as well.
00:46We should sit down and talk so that what happened on October 29 does not happen again.
00:53It has been a lesson for the youth, for the citizens, for everyone in general, and I think the government
00:58also has a sincere desire for reconciliation.
01:03The October 29 election gave President Samia Salou Hassan 98% of the vote, after most opposition candidates were excluded.
01:12Days of protests followed, and security forces responded with a heavy crackdown.
01:17Tanzania has faced criticism from its Western partners over the killings, and the U.S. ambassador warned on Thursday that
01:23they will not be swept under the rug.
01:25The following week may be a surprise for reconciliation on Thursday and as of the unexpected events.
01:26The EPA is a great deal for the citizens of the U.S. operation.
01:26It's a terrible deal for the people who are here to have their forecasers.
01:26The EPA is a very well-made country that tells us.
01:26The EPA is a terrible deal for theonents of the government to not be here.
01:27The EPA is no longer a federal issue.
