Samia Suluhu: Reformist or Just Magufuli 2.0?

Описание: When Samia Suluhu Hassan took office, Tanzania hoped for a new era of freedom. But after the 2025 election, many are asking: was the "reformer" image just an illusion?

In this deep dive, we examine how the promise of the "4Rs"—Reconciliation, Resilience, Reforms, and Rebuilding—unfolded into a reality of political repression and missing activists. We track the timeline from the hopeful first weeks of her presidency to the disqualification of CHADEMA and the crackdown of 2025.
