Tanzania: President Hassan Launches Election Campaign as Oppn Excluded | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Описание: Tanzania heads to presidential polls in October, with President Samia Suluhu Hassan launching her campaign in Dar es Salaam amid mounting criticism. Hassan, who became the country’s first female leader in 2021 after the death of John Magufuli, is contesting her first direct election. While initially praised for easing restrictions on opposition parties and media, her government is now accused of repeating her predecessor’s authoritarian tactics. Key challengers, including opposition leader Tundu Lissu, have been disqualified, leaving Hassan virtually unopposed. Rights groups warn that arrests, harassment, and even abductions of opposition figures raise serious doubts about the vote’s credibility.
