Tanzania is on edge. A curfew has been declared in Dar es Salaam after protests erupted over what many call a rigged election.
Tear gas fills the streets, the internet has been shut down, and thousands of Tanzanians are now calling on the military to intervene.
In a shocking parallel to Cameroon under Paul Biya, President Samia Suluhu Hassan — once celebrated as a reformer — now faces growing accusations of repression and fear. Has Africa’s first female president joined the list of leaders silencing their own people?
From the burning streets of Dar es Salaam to whispers of a military takeover, this is the full story behind Tanzania’s deepening crisis — and what it means for Africa’s Gen Z uprising.
Watch till the end for powerful insights and on-the-ground reactions.

Sorry Tanzania
Don't believe anything, Putin is just an actor, a hand puppet and a marionette of England and other Europeans, they started the war with his hands and are taking all resources and income out of territory of the Russian Federation, inciting hatred towards different peoples, Karl and globalists, I'm talking about you. Hitler was the same English actor(mercenary), they took him out and hid him in end to blame him for all evil they did with his hands, remember recent events and Serbian dictator who organized massacre in Balkans, whom they also took to England and hid, holding a mock trial(performance) on him for world community. Consider why genocides and massacres of local populations are organized in countries that supposedly gained 'independence' from England.

This presidents thinks that they're going to rule by dictatorship may God help us the EAC community
This stupid people just destroy their own country then they think somebody’s gonna come there to help them fix it. Well, America’s not gonna do that. They need to take care of the problem differently and strategically instead of killing each other and tearing up their country or take out whoever the problem is
Senhor manifesta o seu poder em nome de Jesus.
Kwame nkrumah saw this coming. That is why he always wanted a united Africa.😢
What makes me cry is that we have failed to eliminate these colonial cages.
"WE UNITE NOW OR WE PERISH." SAID KWAME.
Elections come and go but the existing peace of the Nation ,should not be destroyed ,Let us assist to rebuild our Neighbourhood….president Zulu is our Neighbour …
War Does not solve problems ,on the contrary it amplifies them.and inflicts deep wounds on the history of the people which take generations to heal…No armed victory can compensate for the pain of mothers ,the fear of children or stolen Future ……..Let's protect our Nation ,and East Africa belongs to Us and Tanzania is our country and it's Our peaceful Neighbouring country for most of us…war has destroyed our economy ,we know politics belong to us….when we destroy our peace it will take long to rebuild again
The West is at it again. Tanzania President is about, the well being of the people. You can't start a business, unless you partner with Tanzanian locals. The employment is stable, The acceptance of the Diaspora is good. This is not Kenya, The Tanzania government appears to be taking care of the people. This generation must be smart and not let the media, AI , and deceptive civil leaders deceive them. Look at the facts and the outcome. Some country leaders should be over thrown, but not all of them. Look at the progress. Don't let the European media war win. It's about foreigners wanting Africa. So they, are attacking the young Africans through social media. However, the Burkina Faso people ignore the media and look at the progress. Africa needs to unite and not wait for wicked leaders to step down . Y'all all being played. Everything that's done against the people is not from the government but the enemy. Why are the people, that have a dictator leader, not able to overthrow them? Because the West is behind them. Wake up and pray!. The countries that have a real problem are overshadowed right now, because they are attacking the good leaders. We are the people and better days are coming. But we must repent, turn to YAH Elohim. And He will and is going to fight our battle 👍🏿🫶🏾💯
Looks real bad.!!!!
