The Olympic torch relay proceeds peacefully through Tanzania.

DAR ES SALAAM, TANZANIA (APRIL 13, 2008) REUTERS -

The Olympic torch relay continued without trouble in Tanzania on
Sunday (April 13) on its only Africa stop.
    Surrounded by high security, the relay was greeted by supporters of
China with no reports of trouble from Tibet protesters seen on other stops in
Europe and the United states.
    The route made its way through Tanzania's commercial capital Dar Es
Salaam escorted by a Chinese security and local police.
    The Olympic torch has been a magnet for chaotic demonstrations in
London and Paris while its only stop in North America turned into a game of
hide-and-seek after the San Francisco route was abruptly changed by city
officials.
    The Olympic Games in Beijing are poised to become one of the most
heavily scrutinised sporting events ever.
    China blames the Dalai Lama and his associates for orchestrating
monk-led protests in Tibet last month that later turned violent as part of a
campaign for independence. The Dalai Lama denies involvement, and is on record
condemning any violence on the torch relay.
    Human rights activists are using the run-up to the games as a stage to
demonstrate their concerns over China.
    Nobel laureate Wangari Maathai who was scheduled to take part in the
Tanzania relay pulled out at the last minute citing her concern over China's
policy in Tibet and its environmental record.
    Officials say 79 torchbearers, including United Nations Habitat
Director General Dr. Anna Tibaijuka, carried the flame over a distance of five
kilometres - covering approximately 60 metres each. The relay ended at the
Tazara National Stadium where the last torchbearer lit the cauldron.
