UNREST IN ZANZIBAR
Results are now in for Zanzibar's hotly-contested election. Voters in Tanzania's semi-autonomous island went to the polls on Sunday amidst tensions that later erupted into three days of street violence. Police have reportedly used sticks, tear gas, rubber bullets, and pepper-laced foam against demonstrating supporters of the opposition party. Zanzibar's electoral commission today announced the re-election of the current president. The leading opposition candidate is refusing to accept defeat and has vowed to carry out a Ukraine-style campaign to protest what he says are fraudulent results.
