Tanzania charged more than 200 people with treason following violent protests over last month’s disputed presidential election. President Samia Suluhu Hassan claimed victory with 98% of the vote, but opposition leaders branded the poll a “sham.” Hundreds of protesters were brought to court in Dar es Salaam, facing charges of “conspiracy to commit treason.” Lawyers allege widespread torture and abuse in detention. The opposition party CHADEMA says at least 800 people were killed in the post-election crackdown, with senior leaders now under arrest or in hiding. The African Union has said Tanzania’s vote failed to meet democratic standards, as the country faces mounting criticism for its handling of political dissent.

We Tanzanians Don’t Care about “Naren’s” or any Other Kenyan talking About Tanzania while they Same Kenyans want Tanzania to Go Down just like Kenya and Some Kenyans contributed to Tanzania Violence.. Again Please Look for a Oure Tanzanian Commentator who is Actually in Tanzania and NoT a Small Girl sitting in Kenya who doesn’t even know where Tanzania is Located to talk about Tanzania Stuff which She know Nothing other than Spewing Hate and Jealousy… We Tanzanians Do not want any Representative From Kenya or Kenyan.. Period…

Treating kids with treason and torturing them will not help the country. This will push resistance underground.
Shameless Humans.

Why is a Muslim ruling over Tanzania????
African Christians where are you???
African Christians are fast asleep while a slow invasion is happening.
The Dictator is fighting to show power and to instire fear in people.
While himan rights should be respected, burning and destroying property is unacceptable. Those are your own communities.
Were they protesters or huligans? What was their massage. Who was behind them. Tanzania is an independent nation with its mandate. Do not undermine our peace.
