Podcasts about samia suluhu hassan

On October 29, Tanzania held national presidential elections — and lo and behold, incumbent President Samia Suluhu Hassan "won" with a staggering 98% of the vote. Everyone knew what was going on. The election was a sham from the start: her main rival is sitting in prison awaiting a treason trial, and the election commission that certified her landslide is stacked with loyalists. Election hijinks aren't new in Tanzania, which has effectively been a one-party state for decades. What was new this time was the public reaction. Tanzanians — who don't have the same protest culture you see in nearby Kenya — poured into the streets in massive demonstrations demanding political change. For a moment, it felt like something was shifting. And then, just days later, security forces violently shut it all down, killing an unknown number of people. My guest today, Constantine Manda, an assistant professor at UC Irvine, helps unpack what happened and why this moment matters. We start with the political logic behind Samia declaring herself the 98% winner, then dig into what these protests and the crackdown reveal about Tanzania's political future.

La Tanzanie peine à se remettre d'une semaine passée particulièrement sanglante. On commence à avoir plus d'informations sur la répression violente qui a suivi la réélection contestée de la présidente Samia Suluhu Hassan, avec 98% des suffrages, et marquée par de nombreuses tricheries selon l'opposition et des observateurs étrangers. Plusieurs ONG parlent de civils, souvent jeunes, tués en représailles, parfois chez eux. Il est toujours difficile, par contre, d'estimer le nombre de victimes ; certaines sources évoquent qu'elles se comptent par centaines, voire par milliers. Les explications d'Alexis Deswaef, président de la Fédération internationale des droits humains.

The 2025 Tanzanian general election, held on October 29, ignited widespread unrest after President Samia Suluhu Hassan claimed victory with nearly 98 percent of the vote amid accusations of fraud, opposition arrests, and an internet blackout. Protests erupted across major cities, met with heavy military crackdowns that opposition groups say left hundreds dead, though official figures remain disputed. The crisis has shaken public faith in Tanzania's democracy, raising fears of deepening authoritarianism and regional instability. At its heart, this tragedy underscores the universal struggle for free elections, accountability, and the right of ordinary citizens to have their voices heard without fear.Dr. Fred Clary, founder of Functional Analysis Chiropractic Technique and lifting/life coach/ gym-chalk covered philosopher talks about the Crisis of Democracy in East Africa.

Today, Morgan, Les, Amy, and Andy discuss the recent political violence in Tanzania, where President Samia Suluhu Hassan claimed victory with 98% of the vote in an election widely condemned as neither free nor fair. Opposition candidates were arrested, protests have been violently suppressed, and Tundu Lissu, leader of the banned Chadema party, faces treason charges for calling for election reform. Once seen as one of East Africa's more stable democracies, this marks a sharp and troubling turn for Tanzania.What does this mean for democratic backsliding across Africa—and beyond? Could instability in Tanzania open new opportunities for China and Russia to expand their influence in the region? And as the United States continues to pull back from Africa, can Washington afford to keep treating the continent as an afterthought while authoritarian powers move in?@morganlroach@lestermunson@amykmitchell@andykeiserLike what we're doing here?

"One notable exception, is that a lawyer enjoys less freedom than others to speak publicly about his or her own cases, but not when it involves solidarity marches and protests for his client, the conducts of lawyers and the limit of their professional duties is the kennel of the alarming accusation by the Presidency yesterday against the lawyer of Mr Nnamdi Kanu and his subsequent arrest by the police for his presence at a scene in Abuja, where protesters were marching peacefully demanding the release of Mr Kanu; the statement from the Presidency and the police action is obviously a culmination of undisguised hostility towards the lawyer for having the temerity to represent a person the government have since prosecuted and convicted in the court of public opinions, ordinarily, a lawyer's bail application for alleged crime of illegal protest, won't be refused, the refusal is concerning and turning a simple matter into a political case of vendetta and persecution", Bayo Onanuga; the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy had on Monday tweeted while the FreeNnamdiKanu protest was ongoing, that; "I spotted Aloy Ejimakor, one of Nnamdi Kanu's lawyers, among the small group of protesters mobilised in Abuja by Omoyele Sowore, I wonder what Mr Ejimakor was thinking when he decided to join this shambolic protest, as a lawyer, he should be aware of the principle of sub judice, particularly in relation to the ongBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/osazuwaakonedo--4980924/support.Kindly support us for more productivity and efficiency in news delivery.Visit our donation page: DonateYou can also use our Mobile app for more news in different formats: CLICK TO DOWNDLOAD ON GOOGLE PLAY STORE

which included Maryam Sanda, who had spent barely six years and eight months at the Suleja Medium Security Custodial Centre after she was convicted and sentenced to death by hanging over the killing of her husband, Bilyaminu Bello in Abuja who she stabbed three times repeatedly, this, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in his earlier presidential pardon granted to the 37 years old convicted and condemned murderer, Maryam Sanda, had asked her to go home free because of her children, but, following public outcry and condemnation, in the revised version of the presidential pardons signed into law on October 21, 2025 and made available to the public by the Presidency on Wednesday October 29, 2025, President Tinubu commuted the death sentence to 12 years imprisonment, although, the Presidency never mentioned the total numbers of people granted the presidential pardons, but, the list of beneficiaries made available by the Presidential Spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, indicated that only 86 persons were granted the presidential pardons, and Maryam Sanda apparently spelt as Maryam Sunda was last on the list, and the names of earlier beneficiaries like Kelvin Prosper Oniarah, were not seen in the revised edition of the list, maybe, the names were omitted due to excessive public outcry that Prosper Kelvin Oniarah was a convicted notorious high profile gang leader of a deadly kidnapping group that were widely stated to be responsible for the kidnapping and subsequent killing of a former Anambra State Deputy Governor, Chudi Nwike, kidnapping of a prominent legal practitioner, Mike Ozhekome on August 24th 2013 along Benin-Auchi road and during the kidnapping operation, the gunmen ambushed and killed four police officers including the Divisional Police Officer, DPO of Ehor Division who led the police team in an attempt to rescue Mike Ozhekome, outside that, the 44 years old Oniarah was also stated to be responsible for the kidnapping of a Judge in the Edo State Judiciary; a top female official of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS; among other several members of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC and security agents and Oniarah was also stated to carry out several armed robberies and kidnap operations in Delta, Edo, Rivers and Anambra States, maintaining operational base and detention camps in Warri and Kokori Community in Delta State, Ugbokolo Community in Benue State, Benin City in Edo State, and Aba in Abia State, that on 18th September, 2013, Oniarah issued a 60-day ultimatum to the Federal Government of Nigeria to release some of his boys who were arrested by the Department of State Services, DSS or he would wreak havoc on innocent Nigerian citizens, and, on 25th September, 2013, a combined security team of the Nigerian Army and DSS operatives arrested Kelvin Prosper Oniarah, a convicted notorious terrorist, kidnap kingpin and armed robber, who had been on the wanted list of the security agencies, and he was subsequently sentenced to 20 years imprisonment which he had spent 12 years in prison before President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had initially made an attempt to release him. #OsazuwaAkonedoBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/osazuwaakonedo--4980924/support.Kindly support us for more productivity and efficiency in news delivery.Visit our donation page: DonateYou can also use our Mobile app for more news in different formats: CLICK TO DOWNDLOAD ON GOOGLE PLAY STORE

The United Nations has called on Tanzanian security forces to refrain from using unnecessary or disproportionate force against those protesting the country's disputed election result. The UN says every effort must be taken to de-escalate tensions and has appealed to protesters to demonstrate peacefully as the main opposition party, CHADEMA continues to call for protesters to take to the streets of the commercial capital Dar es Salaam and other key regions. The government has also faced criticism from rights groups who have accused it of blocking connection networks, including internet access, amid fears that hundreds have died in days of clashes. This comes as President Samia Suluhu Hassan has been declared the winner of the country's disputed poll with nearly 98 percent of the vote, after leading rivals were excluded from the race. For a look at the situation on the ground, Elvis Presslin spoke to Hussein Khalid, the CEO of Non-Governmental Organisation Vocal Africa, based in Kenya.

Trois jours après les élections générales où la présidente Samia Suluhu Hassan est candidate sans réelle opposition, le pays a connu une nouvelle journée de heurts vendredi 31 octobre. Selon le parti de l'opposition Chadema, la répression de la contestation aurait fait 700 morts, des violences qui inquiètent la communauté internationale, mais réfutées par le gouvernement. Et ce matin, le Washington Post revient sur les difficultés rencontrées pour obtenir des informations de l'intérieur du pays. Interrogé par le journal, Tito Magoti, un avocat Tanzanien spécialisé dans les droits humains explique : « Nous ne pouvons pas encore vérifier le nombre exact de morts et de blessés, car la plupart des personnes sont admises dans les hôpitaux publics (...) mais les chiffres dont nous disposons jusqu'à présent sont alarmants. » Maria Sarungi, une militante tanzanienne des droits de l'Homme, elle aussi interrogée par le Washington Post, a transmis au journal américain une liste de plus de 100 personnes qui, selon elle, ont été enlevées, tuées ou ont disparu dans des circonstances mystérieuses depuis l'arrivée au pouvoir de la présidente Hassan. « Je continue de mettre cette liste à jour », précise-t-elle. À l'origine du mécontentement suscité par l'élection, The Washington Post souligne notamment « la multiplication des obstacles juridiques dressés contre les concurrents les plus crédibles de la présidente ». « Hassan a fait taire toutes les voix critiques », explique ainsi Tito Magoti – l'avocat spécialisé dans les droits de l'homme. « Maintenant, elle n'a plus personne avec qui négocier, car le peuple lui dit : "On ne peut pas nous tuer et nous diriger". » Au Kenya, pays voisin de la Tanzanie, la presse mentionne les tentatives d'un groupe de Kényans de franchir illégalement la frontière tanzanienne pour rejoindre les manifestations. The Daily Nation revient ainsi sur les propos du premier secrétaire du Cabinet du Kenya : « Les jeunes [de la génération Z] qui souhaitent participer aux manifestations en Tanzanie violent les lois tanzaniennes (...) Notre Déclaration des droits est très solide, mais ne présumez pas que tous les pays suivent la même voie » Le journal Kenyan analyse ce discours : « Ses remarques font suite à des informations selon lesquelles les policiers kenyans aux postes frontières de Namanga et de Sirare avaient du mal à dissuader les Kenyans d'entrer illégalement en Tanzanie » Aux Pays-Bas, le parti centriste D66 a presque triplé son nombre de sièges À la Une également ce matin : les Pays-Bas et la victoire de Rob Jetten. Ce jeune libéral de 38 ans « a fait trembler l'extrême droite et aspire à gouverner », titre le journal espagnol El Pais. « Après deux années de turbulences politiques, marquées par le départ du gouvernement d'extrême droite, les élections de mercredi aux Pays-Bas offrent l'opportunité d'un retour à la stabilité », peut-on lire. La presse européenne brosse le portrait du leader centriste du parti D66. Précédemment ministre du Climat et de l'Énergie de 2022 à 2024, « son ascension fulgurante n'a pas été sans susciter des critiques, notamment en raison de ses nominations précoces à des fonctions publiques. » Rob Jetten a par ailleurs admis s'intéresser à toutes les religions pour leur capacité à créer des liens entre les gens, souligne El Pais. Le politique, issu de la communauté LGBT+, a par ailleurs « reconnu que faire son coming out avait été difficile, en raison de la pression sociale, plutôt que de raisons religieuses ». « Mais que va-t-il se passer maintenant ? » C'est la question principale du quotidien suisse Le Temps qui répond qu'il faut s'attendre à « des mois de discussions pendant lesquels les chefs de parti vont tenter de former une coalition viable et de négocier un programme gouvernemental acceptable pour tous. » Aux Pays-Bas, le parti majoritaire prend l'initiative de former un gouvernement. Aucun parti n'ayant obtenu de majorité absolue, Jetten est en bonne voie pour former le prochain gouvernement et devenir le plus jeune Premier ministre du pays. Ce qui est sûr, souligne le Washington Post, c'est que « L'élection s'est en quelque sorte transformée en test de popularité pour l'extrême droite après près de deux ans au pouvoir. Wilders, l'une des figures populistes les plus emblématiques et les plus virulentes d'Europe, est désormais quasiment exclu du gouvernement. »

En Tanzanie, des heurts en marge des élections législatives et présidentielle, dont l'opposition a été évincée, ont débuté mercredi. Alors que la population était appelée à respecter un couvre-feu jeudi, de nouvelles manifestations ont éclaté dans plusieurs villes du pays. Une situation commentée par la presse africaine. Si la coupure du réseau internet rend l'accès aux informations compliqué, le média Afrik.com souligne « un chaos post-électoral et un silence d'État ». « Rendez-nous notre pays ! » scandent d'un côté les manifestants, de l'autre, on constate une absence de communication de la part du gouvernement, dirigé par la présidente Samia Suluhu Hassan, « tandis que les mesures de sécurité sont renforcées et que les craintes de victimes augmentent », peut-on lire. Selon Afrik.com « L'absence de communication gouvernementale est d'autant plus inquiétante que le scrutin a été précédé d'une vague de répression sévère. L'organisation Amnesty International a dénoncé une véritable "vague de terreur" marquée par des disparitions forcées, des arrestations arbitraires et des actes de torture ». Le média précise : « Le principal parti d'opposition, le Chadema, dont le chef Tundu Lissu est jugé pour trahison, a été disqualifié pour avoir refusé de signer un code électoral jugé insuffisant ». Pas d'observateurs crédibles Au Kenya, The Daily Nation scrute également de près la situation chez son voisin Tanzanien. Le journal rappelle que des militants, depuis le Kenya, ont dénoncé « une mascarade », juste « après que les autorités ont interdit à deux des principaux partis d'opposition de présenter des candidats ». Par ailleurs, le KHRC « la Commission kenyane des droits de l'homme (une ONG) a tiré la sonnette d'alarme face à l'absence de groupes d'observation électorale crédibles lors des élections. "Aucune mission d'observation crédible n'est présente en Tanzanie. La Belgique, la Suède, l'Allemagne et l'Irlande se sont retirées des élections. Les États-Unis surveillent, mais sans y déployer d'observateurs officiels" explique notamment un membre du KHRC ». Cependant, rappelle The Daily Nation « l'Union Africaine, la Communauté de développement de l'Afrique Australe, la Communauté d'Afrique de l'Est et la Conférence internationale sur la région des Grands Lacs ont déployé des missions d'observation, ce qui a suscité des critiques pour avoir légitimé un processus défectueux ».   Au Burkina Faso, WakatSéra commente aussi la situation en Tanzanie, dans ces colonnes édito : « Après les élections, la tension ! (...) c'est le condensé en peu de mots, de la situation volcanique que vit le pays », peut-on lire. « La présidente sortante en quête d'un deuxième mandat, (...) n'a pas résisté à la tentation d'organiser des scrutins interdits à l'opposition, la vraie ». Ainsi, les manifestants « n'ont que leurs voix pour crier leur ras-le-bol d'un régime incapable de répondre aux attentes d'un peuple trop longtemps muselé ». En Algérie, des réactions et des commentaires sur la politique française Jeudi, le parti d'extrême droite français, le Rassemblement national, a obtenu une « victoire » à l'Assemblée nationale, en faisant adopter à une voix près une résolution qui vise à « dénoncer » l'accord franco-algérien de 1968, qui crée un régime d'immigration favorable pour les Algériens. « La France vote contre elle-même », c'est le titre d'un édito dans Algerie patriotique. « Derrière les apparences d'un débat diplomatique, c'est une fracture politique, morale et historique qui s'ouvre : celle qui annonce l'arrivée de l'extrême-droite au pouvoir en 2027. (…) Le fameux accord de 68, que les nostalgiques de l'Algérie française décrivent à tort comme un privilège offert aux ressortissants algériens, n'est en réalité qu'une coquille vide ». Et pour Algérie Patriotique, « le vrai scandale n'est pas dans le vote, mais dans la complaisance du pouvoir en place », car « l'exécutif a préféré jouer la partition du populisme. En reprenant à son compte les thèmes de l'extrême droite, il espérait la contenir, mais il n'a fait que la légitimer. C'est ainsi que, sous couvert de "fermeté", la France se déshonore et prépare son propre suicide politique ». Algérie 360, rappelle que l'idée de mettre en cause l'accord de 1968 n'est pas nouvelle. « Déjà en février, un rapport du Sénat suggérait d'envisager sa dénonciation. De plus, l'ancien ministre français de l'Intérieur, Bruno Retailleau, avait exprimé à plusieurs reprises son souhait de remettre en question cet accord, notamment lors d'une période de crise diplomatique ». Par ailleurs, le média observalgérie souligne que les accords de 1968 « ne sont pas liés aux obligations de quitter le territoire français non exécutées, argument souvent évoqué par le Rassemblement national ». Ces accords encadrent uniquement les droits de résidence et d'établissement des ressortissants algériens en France. Enfin, le texte voté ne modifie en rien ces dispositions... Puisqu'une résolution parlementaire ne peut pas imposer d'action à l'exécutif. Elle exprime seulement la position de l'Assemblée nationale.

En Algérie, des réactions et des commentaires sur la politique française Jeudi, le parti d'extrême droite français, le Rassemblement national, a obtenu une « victoire » à l'Assemblée nationale, en faisant adopter à une voix près une résolution qui vise à « dénoncer » l'accord franco-algérien de 1968, qui crée un régime d'immigration favorable pour les Algériens. « La France vote contre elle-même », c'est le titre d'un édito dans Algerie patriotique. « Derrière les apparences d'un débat diplomatique, c'est une fracture politique, morale et historique qui s'ouvre : celle qui annonce l'arrivée de l'extrême-droite au pouvoir en 2027. (…) Le fameux accord de 68, que les nostalgiques de l'Algérie française décrivent à tort comme un privilège offert aux ressortissants algériens, n'est en réalité qu'une coquille vide ». Et pour Algérie Patriotique, « le vrai scandale n'est pas dans le vote, mais dans la complaisance du pouvoir en place », car « l'exécutif a préféré jouer la partition du populisme. En reprenant à son compte les thèmes de l'extrême droite, il espérait la contenir, mais il n'a fait que la légitimer. C'est ainsi que, sous couvert de "fermeté", la France se déshonore et prépare son propre suicide politique ». Algérie 360, rappelle que l'idée de mettre en cause l'accord de 1968 n'est pas nouvelle. « Déjà en février, un rapport du Sénat suggérait d'envisager sa dénonciation. De plus, l'ancien ministre français de l'Intérieur, Bruno Retailleau, avait exprimé à plusieurs reprises son souhait de remettre en question cet accord, notamment lors d'une période de crise diplomatique ». Par ailleurs, le média observalgérie souligne que les accords de 1968 « ne sont pas liés aux obligations de quitter le territoire français non exécutées, argument souvent évoqué par le Rassemblement national ». Ces accords encadrent uniquement les droits de résidence et d'établissement des ressortissants algériens en France. Enfin, le texte voté ne modifie en rien ces dispositions... Puisqu'une résolution parlementaire ne peut pas imposer d'action à l'exécutif. Elle exprime seulement la position de l'Assemblée nationale.

En Tanzanie, la santé est l'un des secteurs le plus en difficulté. Problèmes d'accès aux soins, d'infrastructures ou manque de personnels qualifiés, les défis sont nombreux. Mais grâce à la Fondation Vodafone et l'implication du gouvernement tanzanien, un programme nommé M-Mama a permis de réduire la mortalité maternelle de près de 40%.   De notre correspondante à Dar es Salaam, Cette sonnerie, Sophia Miraji l'entend jusqu'à 40 fois par jour dans son bureau de l'hôpital Mwananyamala à Dar es Salaam. Au bout du fil en général, un dispensaire ou une structure de santé ayant une urgence obstétrique. « On a une urgence, on a besoin d'un véhicule. » Francesca Konyani est infirmière. Avec sa collègue, elle traite cet appel aujourd'hui : « La mère est en plein travail, mais sa tension est élevée, c'est de la pré-éclampsie, donc on doit la transporter du centre de santé de Kigogo à l'hôpital de Mwananyamala. »  Un trajet d'environ 10-20 minutes s'il n'y a pas de trafic et qui sera effectué ce jour-là par une ambulance. Si aucune n'est disponible, c'est un chauffeur privé qui fera le trajet. Grâce au numéro gratuit 115 de M-Mama, depuis 2023, toutes les femmes enceintes ou nouveau-nés en état d'urgence en Tanzanie peuvent être pris en charge et transportés dans un établissement pouvant leur fournir les soins appropriés. Rahma est la responsable du projet M-Mama en Tanzanie : « Nous avons déjà transporté plus de 170 000 personnes dans le pays, c'est énorme. Nous avons des chauffeurs issus des communautés de presque tous les villages dans ce pays. C'est surtout grâce à la volonté politique. » Élargir le programme à d'autres urgences médicales La présidente Samia Suluhu Hassan a fait de la santé des femmes et des nouveau-nés une priorité. Mais avec quasiment 60% du système de santé national financé par des dons extérieurs ou le paiement des particuliers, l'efficacité de M-Mama est loin de refléter la réalité du pays. Faraji Bakari est l'un des chauffeurs du programme : « On espère que ça ne va pas s'arrêter aux femmes enceintes, mais que le gouvernement va étendre ça à ceux qui ont d'autres besoins médicaux dans la communauté. » La Tanzanie ne dispose pas de service de transport d'urgence, c'est donc pour ça que la fondation Vodafone s'est focalisée sur ce problème. Le programme est financé par l'État et désormais aussi géré par différents ministères. Juwairia Hamad tient son bébé de quatre mois en pleine forme dans ses bras : « Sans eux, je ne serais pas là. Quand une mère est en situation d'urgence et qu'il n'y a pas de services, c'est très difficile. C'est une super initiative et je suis très heureuse. »  Si le gouvernement tanzanien a augmenté son budget lié aux infrastructures de santé ces dernières années, le manque de personnel qualifié et le coût des soins restent un véritable problème dans le pays.  À lire aussiNeoNest, un couffin pour sauver les bébés prématurés en Ouganda rural

Style de musique iconique de la Tanzanie, le Bongo Flava se fait de plus en plus connaître à l'international. Avec ses notes de hip hop, rap, zouk, le tout en swahili, le style est né dans les années 1990 et continue de faire danser les Tanzaniens. Même si quelques décennies plus tard, les messages de revendications se sont estompés. De notre correspondante en Dar es Salaam, C'était « le » tube l'an dernier en Tanzanie, Diamond PlatnumZ, star du Bongo Flava lançait sa chanson Komasava pour « comment ça va ? ». Le titre a tourné à travers le monde. À coup de voitures clinquantes, femmes légèrement vêtues et de Masai réalisant la chorégraphie de la chanson, le tube parle vaguement de romance… Des thèmes pourtant bien loin des origines du style Bongo Flava, selon Kwame Eli, en charge de la communication pour l'Association de la musique urbaine tanzanienne : « Ça a beaucoup changé, à l'origine c'était quelque chose qui aidait les jeunes à s'exprimer sur différents problèmes dans le voisinage, dans la communauté, mais maintenant c'est juste du divertissement. » À lire aussiLa « success story » du Tanzanien Diamond Platnumz Une musique autrefois engagée Né dans les années 1990, le Bongo Flava est un mélange de genres pour, à l'époque, parler de politique, d'économie et parfois même critiquer le gouvernement. Le titre Ndio Mzee, traduisez « oui chef », de l'artiste Professor Jay, fait partie des classiques. « Nous t'avons donné nos voix ; Tu nous as fait tant de promesses ; Mais aujourd'hui, nous restons affamés », chantait Professor Jay à l'époque. Aujourd'hui, il a préféré ne pas répondre à nos questions. À quelques jours à peine des élections présidentielles, exprimer quelconque critique est très risqué en Tanzanie. Pour Kwame Eli, « Les choses ne vont pas bien. La plupart des musiciens maintenant ne soutiennent qu'une partie. "Parce qu'ils ont peur, vous pensez ?" 100% ! Ils ont peur ! [rires] » Alors, certains chantent les louanges de la présidente au pouvoir Samia Suluhu Hassan. C'était le cas en 2021 de Frida Amani : « J'utilise la musique pour parler des femmes, c'est pour ça que j'ai une chanson comme Madam President. Ça n'était pas du tout politique, c'était pour inspirer les filles. » La chanteuse estime qu'aujourd'hui le public ne veut plus entendre parler des problèmes du quotidien : « Ils pensent : "C'est notre vie, c'est ce qu'il se passe maintenant, s'il vous plaît, laissez-nous avoir du bon temps". ». Une querelle des anciens et des modernes. Quelles qu'en soient les paroles, une chose est certaine, le rythme du Bongo Flava continue de faire danser la Tanzanie.

Tanzania's October 2025 election will mark President Samia Suluhu Hassan's first as a presidential candidate, despite her holding office since 2021. A former vice-president, President Samia came to power following the sudden death of her predecessor, and is widely anticipated to win a new term for her CCM party – extending their unbroken rule in Tanzania since the country's independence in 1961. Key questions surrounding the 2025 polls include the systematic exclusion of leading opposition candidates, tightened restrictions on media, increases in reported abductions and attacks on activists, and the limited presence of external observer missions.  In this episode, Thomas Kibwana, Anna Bwana and Deus Valentine Rweyemamu join Chatham House's Fergus Kell and Lisa Musumba to discuss the lead-up to Tanzania's election and the long-term future for the country.  Related content:  Tanzania election: Erosion of democracy will also come at the cost of economic potential Reviving Tanzania's regional leadership and global engagement

As Tanzania heads to the polls on October 29, President Samia Suluhu Hassan faces voters for the first time, while the opposition hopes to chip away at decades of the ruling CCM's dominance. Eddy Micah Jr. speaks with political analyst Paternus Niyegira and DW's Faidha Ngaga in Dar es Salaam about the key issues, the Gen Z factor, and whether Tanzania is ready for change.

Tanzania inaingia kwenye kampeni za uchaguzi Mkuu kuanzia Agosti 28, kuelekea kufanyika kwa uchaguzi uliopangwa kufanyika Oktoba, 29 2025. Rais Samia Suluhu Hassan, kutoka chama tawala CCM, anawania uongozi wa nchi hiyo. Mpinzani wake mkuu Tundu Lissu anaendelea  kuzuiwa jela, kwa tuhma za uchochezi na uhaini.

The future of Tanzania's main opposition party, CHADEMA, is in crisis after being barred from the October 2025 election — and from all by-elections until 2030. Is this a calculated move by President Samia Suluhu to silence dissent, or is CHADEMA crumbling under the weight of its own internal divisions?

Ray White speaks to Africa Report Correspondent Crystal Orderson about stories making headlines across the continent. Questions are mounting over the SANDF’s withdrawal from the DRC, with conflicting reports suggesting South African troops are stranded in Goma due to transport delays, claims the military firmly denies, insisting the operation is proceeding in phases with all personnel safe and supplied. Crystal weighs in on whether this is a case of miscommunication, logistical hiccups, or media sensationalism, and what it means for South Africa’s peacekeeping credibility in the region. Meanwhile, in Tanzania, the arrest of opposition figure Amani Golugwa and the disqualification of CHADEMA from the upcoming election are raising red flags about democratic backsliding under President Samia Suluhu Hassan, prompting fears of a return to authoritarian tactics just months before a crucial vote. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Tanzania's main opposition Chadema party says a female official of the party was abducted over the weekend by unidentified individuals. A month ago, Mohamed Ali Kibao, a member of the Chadema secretariat, was abducted, and his body was later found in a Dar es Salaam neighborhood. An investigation ordered by President Samia Suluhu Hassan has yet to be concluded. John Mrema, Chadema's director of protocol, communications, and foreign affairs, tells VOA's James Butty, Aisha Machano, the national publicity secretary of Chadema women's wing, was abducted and severely beaten

Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan has rejected allegations that she might have played a role in the recent political killings and abductions in the country. She said she has never killed anyone. The Tanzania Citizen reports that the president issued the denial over the weekend while addressing the General Meeting of the Women's Wing of the ruling Chama cha Mapinduzi (CCM). The country has been experiencing abductions and killings, including last month's kidnapping and murder of Mohamed Ally Kibao of the opposition Chadema party. Meanwhile, its women members held their own news conference to highlight the killings and enforced disappearances of some in their party. Brenda Chadema is one of the leaders of the opposition part

When president Samia Suluhu Hassan came into power in 2021 she lifted a ban on political rallies imposed by her predecessor the late John Magufuli, and promised the 4 Rs: reconciliation, resilience, reforms and rebuilding.But now, as the country heads towards elections - this year and next - fear is growing.Just under 3 weeks ago, an opposition official Ali Kibao, was abducted, killed and his body doused in acid. A number of other activists have disappeared. And the two most senior opposition leaders have been arrested – twice – on the eve of planned protests.For today's Africa Daily podcast, Alan Kasujja speaks to one of them, Freeman Mbowe, leader of the main opposition party CHADEMA.He also speaks to former BBC journalist Salim Kikeke for context of what has been happening in the country.

Tanzania's main opposition Chadema party says it will hold a peaceful protest Monday as a memorial to its leaders who it says have disappeared or been killed under suspicious circumstances. But the police have banned any demonstration in the name of protecting lives and property. Mohamed Ali Kibao, a senior member of Chadema, was abducted on September 6 in broad daylight. His body was found in a Dar es Salaam neighborhood. President Samia Suluhu Hassan has ordered a swift and thorough investigation. Some foreign diplomatic missions in Tanzania, including the United States, have called for an independent investigation. Tundu Lissu, former Chadema presidential candidate, tells VOA's James Butty, Chadema wants a foreign-led investigation because it does trust the government

According to Netblocks, “the incident comes as the police force issues an alert over alleged opposition party plans to raid police stations where political prisoners might be held.” Tanzania has witnessed an unprecedented crackdown from security forces, who have detained hundreds of opposition party members, including the chairman of the Chadema party, Freeman Mbwoe, and his deputy, Tundu Lissu. Other prominent critics, including Deusdedith Soka and Dioniz Kipanya, disappeared, while Shadrack Chaula, a TikToker critical of President Samia Suluhu Hassan, remains missing.

C'est sa première visite officielle dans un pays de l'Alliance des États du sahel. « Dakar et Bamako se reconnectent », titre en Une Walf Quotidien, qui précise qu'Ousmane Sonko, reçu par son homologue malien Choguel Maïga – un accueil qualifié de « chaleureux » par Maliweb, a aussi rencontré le président malien de la Transition, le colonel Assimi Goïta. Dès son arrivée, écrit le site d'information en ligne, « le Premier ministre a tenu à s'incliner devant la mémoire des soldats maliens tombés au front », allusion à la mort fin juillet de dizaines de soldats de l'armée malienne et de leurs alliés russes d'Africa Corps. Selon Seneweb, il a indiqué que « personne ne pourra passer par le Sénégal pour déstabiliser le Mali ».Ousmane Sonko est venu pour « une visite de travail, d'amitié et de fraternité », écrit Malijet. Selon Dakar Actu, il a « plaidé pour le rapprochement avec le Mali, qui a récemment tourné le dos à l'organisation ouest-africaine Cédéao ». Lors de sa visite fin mai, le nouveau président Bassirou Diomaye Faye avait déjà, rappelle le quotidien, « dit vouloir faire revenir au sein de la Cédéao le Mali, le Niger et le Burkina Faso, qui avaient quitté l'organisation régionale en janvier, l'accusant d'être inféodée à l'ancienne puissance coloniale française et de ne pas les avoir assez soutenus contre le jihadisme ». Et, écrit de son côté le quotidien burkinabé Le Pays, « les nouvelles autorités sénégalaises et les dirigeants des pays membres de l'Alliance des États du Sahel (AES) prônent l'indépendance totale de l'Afrique (…). On peut affirmer sans grand risque de se tromper que c'est essentiellement en raison de leur proximité idéologique avec les dirigeants de l'AES que les autorités de Dakar ont été choisies pour jouer les médiateurs entre la Cédéao et ces derniers ».À lire aussiSénégal: des propos critiques du Premier ministre sur les médias font débat dans le secteurEn Tanzanie, des dirigeants de l'opposition arrêtésArrestation ce dimanche 11 août et ce lundi 12 août de dizaines de personnes, dont de hauts responsables du Chadema, indique le quotidien tanzanien The Citizen, qui précise que parmi eux figurent le vice-président du parti pour le continent, Tundu Lissu (rentré l'an dernier dans le pays après cinq années d'exil), le secrétaire général du parti et le président de la zone de Nyasa. Les arrestations ont eu lieu alors que Chadema prévoyait de commémorer hier la Journée internationale de la jeunesse à Mbeya, dans le sud-ouest - c'est d'ailleurs là qu'ont eu lieu les arrestations. À Mbeya, où selon le parti, pas moins de 10 000 jeunes devaient se réunir, sous le slogan « Prenez en charge votre avenir », raconte le site Mediaguinee. Mais les autorités tanzaniennes avaient interdit la manifestation, évoquant des risques de débordement selon Afrik.com, ce que les organisateurs « n'ont pas voulu accepter ». Selon le parti d'opposition, souligne Afrik.com, « environ 500 jeunes qui faisaient route vers le lieu du rassemblement à Mbeya ont été, dans un premier temps, interpelés par la police avant d'être reconduits chez eux ».Chadema demande la libération de ses responsables, et affirme, indique The Citizen, que la police a « accusé des jeunes de crimes graves et inventés de toutes pièces, comme le trafic d'êtres humains ». Le parti exhorte aussi « la présidente Samia Suluhu à intervenir ». « Depuis la mort soudaine du président John Magufuli, surnommé le ‘Bulldozer', en mars 2021 », rappelle Mediaguinee, « sa successeure Samia Suluhu Hassan est revenue sur plusieurs de ses politiques les plus controversées ». Mais selon Oryam Nyeko, un chercheur de Human Rights Watch interrogé par Afrik.com, ces dernières arrestations sont inquiétantes, « car cela ressemble beaucoup aux arrestations massives d'opposants que nous avons observées, lorsque Magufuli était président. La Tanzanie ne veut pas revenir dans cette direction, surtout à l'approche des élections ».À lire aussiLa Tanzanie a expulsé des milliers de familles massaï de leurs terres ancestrales, des ONG pointent des «tactiques abusives»« Journée sans presse » au Sénégal« Médias sénégalais, la mort programmée », c'est le titre d'un édito commun de la presse sénégalaise, publié par exemple parLe Quotidien. Selon le texte, depuis bientôt trois mois, « une campagne de diabolisation a été actionnée pour présenter les médias, ainsi que ceux qui les animent, comme des citoyens irrespectueux des lois ». L'objectif serait de « procéder à une liquidation des entreprises de presse privée, en fonction de ses intérêts politiques immédiats », avec déjà des « blocages de comptes bancaires ». Du coup, explique Mamadou Ibra Kane, le président du conseil des diffuseurs et éditeurs de la presse au Sénégal, repris par Mediaguinee, ce mardi 13 aout 2024, « les journaux ne vont pas paraître. Il n'y aura pas d'émission de radio et de télévision. Les sites d'informations ne vont pas diffuser ». Par contre, Walf Quotidien, dans un éditorial en Une, explique qu'il « va continuer à faire fonctionner ses supports » ce mardi, pour ne pas priver ses lecteurs du droit à l'information. Tout en précisant qu'il est aussi « de la responsabilité de l'État d'ouvrir ces couloirs de dialogue », ce qui aurait permis de « faire l'économie de cette mesure radicale » qui « est une vilaine balafre sur la joue de notre démocratie ».

After attaining independence in 1961, the United Republic of Tanzania became instrumental in liberation movements throughout Africa. Julius Nyerere, Tanzania's first president, established the ideology of Ujamaa (African socialism) as Tanzania's political, social, and economic ideology. At the time of independence, the US established diplomatic ties with Tanzania and Nyerere had a close relationship with President John F. Kennedy. Nyerere stepped down from his presidency in 1985 and subsequent presidents opened Tanzania to become more democratic politically and economically while maintaining a socialist philosophy further strengthening relations with the US. However, the presidency of the late President John Magufuli eroded some of the democratic strides that previous presidents had instilled, straining bilateral relations with the US while strengthening ties with China. Nonetheless, the current administration under the leadership of President Samia Suluhu Hassan has beckoned on the United States for an improved relationship and deeper bilateral economic ties. Mvemba is joined by Ambassador Michael Battle, United States Ambassador to Tanzania, to discuss the history and current state of U.S.- Tanzania bilateral relations. Ambassador Battle shares his hopes of transformed US-Tanzania relations from an aid and development assistance model to a trade and investment model.
