Tanzania stands at the edge of darkness. At least 3,000 people have been murdered by Tanzanian security forces, with thousands more still missing (KHRC). All this, simply for demanding reforms and a fair election!
This is not leadership; it is tyranny. Tanzania bleeds under a regime that fears its own people. Yet, in the face of such brutality, the opposition and the brave citizens of Tanzania continue to fight for the nation that Mwalimu Julius Nyerere envisioned of an African democracy built on dialogue, consensus, and the dignity of every citizen. A tyrant, a murderer, and a dictator must not be allowed to destroy that legacy.
This bloodshed cannot and will not be condoned. It is shameful that leaders in our region continue to mimic oppression instead of strengthening democracy and empowering citizens.
Tanzania, do not lose hope! You shall overcome this tyranny. Africa is watching, and history will remember those who stood when silence was easier!
