Upon taking office in 2021, Samia Suluhu Hassan initiated reforms that ended newspaper bans and school exclusion for pregnant girls, signaling hope for Tanzanian democracy.
Following initial promises of reform, opposition leaders express concern over recent killings and arrests, suggesting a troubling shift away from political freedoms under Hassan.
Chadema's chair highlighted the tragic reality of political violence, stating, 'Three of our members were killed during recent local elections, reflecting a frightening climate for opposition parties.'
The alarming trend of political violence and disappearances has led to cynicism among opposition leaders, with some declaring their expectations of reform under Hassan were 'wildly unrealistic.'
