Tanzania’s 2025 elections have become one of the most controversial moments in East Africa’s recent political history. As President Samia Suluhu Hassan seeks a second term, major opposition leaders are in jail, protests fill the streets, and international observers call it a “sham election.”
In this 10-minute investigative breakdown, we uncover:
The pre-election crackdown that silenced opposition voices.
The chaos on election day, from police gunfire in Dar es Salaam to internet shutdowns.
The regional and global reactions, and what this means for democracy in East Africa.
And finally, what’s next for Tanzania — will this mark the beginning of deeper unrest or a new era of resistance?
This is the full story behind the protests, the repression, and the rebellion — the story Tanzania’s government doesn’t want you to hear.

It won't be the same again in Tanzania, either it will bud or worst due to big division that may come with it.
Before trible and religious devide, the Ice Land might as well go its way and have your own Tanganyika in case you don't become aware.
Vijana mnaweza kusema wala sio fujo.
The wind of change came in the 90s and went, uprising in the Middle East as well, with Genz will as well parish in the thin air soon.
Vijana contest for leadership positions to bring those changes you think can work, if you think u are the majority voters, otherwise if you think u can drop to plate with food and continue eating, you may realize later u can eat if it were the spoon dropped but not the plate.😂😂😂😂
Kwa jirani kunaungua.
