It's Independence Day in Tanzania.
But instead of celebrations, the streets are largely silent.
All official events have been cancelled after opposition groups called for peaceful protests.
The government says any demonstration will be considered an attempted coup.
But many are still angry about October's disputed election that saw incumbent president Samia Suluhu Hassan re-elected with 98% of the vote,
And the police crackdown that followed, in which hundreds were killed, according to the opposition.
The US announced last week it's 'reconsidering its relationship' with Tanzania.
So, are opposition voices being heard in Tanzania? Will international pressure make a difference?
And is the nation headed for further upheaval?
