CNN footage Shows that among victims of shooting was a woman who was three months pregnant.

 The CNN investigative report, published on November 21, 2025, includes embedded footage documenting post-election violence in Tanzania, specifically a 5:04 video clip from Arusha on October 29, 2025, showing police confronting and shooting at protesters. The article carries an editor's note warning that it "contains disturbing images," applicable to the graphic video content.The video captures a chaotic confrontation at an intersection where about 10 armed police officers face off against a group of young men protesting the disputed election results. It begins with protesters gathered peacefully but escalates when one throws a rock toward the police. Approximately two minutes later, bursts of gunfire erupt, causing the crowd to scatter and run down a dusty road.Timed around 3:27 p.m. local time, the footage shows a woman in a lavender top and hat, holding a stick and a rock, fleeing with others as shots ring out. She is struck in the back from approximately 112 meters (367 feet) away, based on forensic audio analysis of the gunshot sounds (a "crack" from the ballistic shockwave followed by a "boom" from the muzzle blast). A hole appears in her blouse as the entry wound, and blood spreads; she drops her items, collapses to the ground, and does not respond. Bystanders rush to help, with one woman pleading "Mama, mama, stand" while trying to lift her, but she remains motionless. The article confirms she was three months pregnant and left behind a husband and two young children.
