Amid major concerns in #Tanzania, leaders from @SFRCdems have warned of the 'least competitive election since the country embraced multi-party politics.' Abductions, disappearances, deaths and widespread intimidation have combined to create an impending disaster. #FreeTunduLissu
Katika wakati tuliomo, kuna aina mbili tu za uamuzi ambao binadamu anaweza kufanya:
1. Kukaa kimya na kunyamazia maovu yote.
Watu watekwe,wapotezwe na kuuwawa bila kosa, ufisadi, uonevu na kunyanyasa watu.
Uamuzi wa kwanza unaweza kukufanya ukajiona uko salama kwa mda lakini hauko Salama.
2. Uamuzi wa pili ni kuamua kuiambia serikali kwamba kuna shida:
Watu wanatekwa na kupotea, kuna rushwa na ufisadi, kuna uendeshaji mbaya wa Nchi, uchaguzi haufanyiki vizuri kwa haki. Tunaomba mrekebishe haya mambo.
Madhara yake ni kuonewa, kuteswa na kuwekwa ndani bila kosaโฆ uamuzi huu wa pili japo unaonekana mgumu kwasasa ila ni uamuzi sahihi na utashinda.
Meshack, Shadrack na Abednego walipokutana kwenye uamuzi kama huu. Walifanya uamuzi sahihi.
Tufanye uamuzi sahihi.

The East African Community (EAC) Secretariat conveys its heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies to the Government and people of the Republic of Kenya on the passing of the former Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga.
Rt. Hon. Odinga was a towering Pan-African statesman, a courageous reformer and a relentless voice for freedom, democracy and social justice.
He was an affable, charismatic and an enigma central to Kenyaโs politics.
His political life embodied resilience, conviction and sacrifice in pursuit of a fairer and more united Kenya.
A steadfast believer in regional cooperation and Pan-African ideals, Rt. Hon. Odinga championed the cause of integration, infrastructure and collective development.
He was a consistent advocate for equality and inclusion and a champion for womenโs representation.
His conviction that Africaโs strength lies in its unity resonated deeply with the EACโs vision of a peaceful, prosperous and people-centred region.
His passing marks the loss of a leader of rare foresight and principle. One whose courage, intellect and devotion to the common good inspired millions and elevated Africaโs discourse on governance, equity and development.
His legacy will remain a guiding light for generations committed to building a better, more united region and continent.
On behalf of the East African Community and on my own behalf, I extend sincere condolences to his family, friends and to the people and Government of the Republic of Kenya during this time of great sorrow.

BREAKING NEWS: THRDC strongly condemns the abduction of Mr. Humphrey Polepole who is a prominent political figure and government critic. His disappearance is a grave violation of human rights and democracy.
We demand his immediate release and call for a transparent investigation
Dear @X@ElonMusk,
As a verified account holder and human rights advocate, I stand firmly against all forms of injustice. My passion has driven me to exercise my First Amendment right: freedom of speech, press, assembly, and petition. I have openly criticized oppression and human rights violations -through social media, in the U.S. Senate, and to my people in Tanzania, my first home.
Freedom of expression is not only an American right but also a human right under Article 19 of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which protects the right to hold opinions and share information across borders.
Recently, my social media accounts have faced hacking attempts and coordinated mass-reporting campaigns intended to silence me. In Tanzania, X has been blocked, forcing citizens to use VPNs to access free speech. These attacks threaten truth, transparency, and human rights globally. I urge X and Mr. Musk to protect truth tellers. We are also notifying the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Secretary of State @SecRubio, and our Georgia Senators @SenatorWarnock and @ossoff of these digital attacks on Americansโ rights. Platforms like X must remain safe spaces for honest voices and advocacy. We are also reporting any intimidations, threats or cross border attacks. I have informed both @FBI and my local authorities. Furthermore will keep monitoring all spaces and report any activity that will put me or my loved ones in danger.
We will continue speaking truth- boldly, respectfully, and without fear.

Kukosoa serikali sio jinai, kukosoa mienendo ya serikali na uongozi sio kosa lolote kwenye Nchi hii.
Hatukubaliani na utekaji na utesaji wa Watanzania kwa kisingizio kwamba wanakosoa serikali ya Rais Samia.
Nawakumbusha hawa watekaji kwamba juzi Polepole alikua kiongozi mwandamizi kwenye serikali ya Magufuli.
Hakuna ambae angeamini kwamba miaka mitatu baadae atakua anawindwa kama Swala.
Power is transient, enyi watu mnaoteka mda sio mrefu mtajuta kwanini mlifanya hivi na hao wanaowatuma furaha zenu sasa zitakua vilio baadae.
Watanzania amkeni, hakuna alie salama.
Tanzania has warned against the โmisuseโ of social media after a viral video, allegedly from an air force officer, called for military โactionโ and criticised the government ahead of elections. https://t.co/w5Eh4yibMC

Captain John Charles Tesha of Tanzanian air force has gone viral with his video demanding change in Tanzania
He says the President has no vision for the country and itโs up to the citizens to take action especially Gen Zโs.
Earlier today, I tendered my resignation from the position of the Vice Chairperson of the @compensationke. I will continue to agitate for Justice for all Victims, and pursue all key deliverables I had set out to attain.
As Tundu Lissu faces trial today on trumped-up treason charges, we will do our utmost to keep international pressure on the Tanzanian regime โ building on our recent meetings in Washington, DC, on this matter.
Early this morning in #Tanzania, a former ambassador and outspoken critic of the @SuluhuSamia regime was abducted by unknown individuals.
"We went to the house and found the door broken, electric wires cut, and a large amount of blood spilled."

Other army officials: The loyalty of the men and women in the army is with the people should they choose to protest against the sham electoral process. If necessary, the army should take control of the situation to prevent the illegitimate election from proceeding, thereby safeguarding peace, justice, and constitutional order.
Ugandaโs army: This country will never be ruled by a civilian. We will crush the opposition. We will behead Besigye. We will kill Kabobi. We will kidnap and disappear anyone that wants to challenge Museveni. You must remain peaceful during elections even if we kidnap your people and disappear them and torture them.
A source told me that the arrested Kenyan duo are detained in Mbuya military barracks. This is illegal detention by any stretch of imagination. We continue to demand their release.
"#Tanzania is sliding into electoral authoritarianism โ a system where polls are held, but within a manipulated process where the ruling party retains power through state control, patronage, violence, intimidation and manipulation of electoral systems."
