Conflict in Tanzania

NOT LIVE · TANZANIA RECORD RUNS 28 FEB 2024 12 FEB 2026

This is a verified record, not a live feed. UCDP hand-codes every event from published sources, which takes weeks — the newest event here is from 2026-05-31. For what is happening right now, LEV’s Global Incidents layer carries the machine-coded newswire at about fifteen minutes’ delay.

Between 28 Feb 2024 and 12 Feb 2026, researchers at Uppsala University hand-coded 63 events of organised violence in Tanzania from published sources. Their best estimate is 1,016 people killed — and their own range runs 413–2,701, which is the honest width of what anyone actually knows.
