URGENT: COMMONWEALTH CMAG 🚨
Tanzania’s situation is not improving.
As CMAG prepares to discuss Tanzania on September 20, 2026, Commonwealth representatives must hear the reality from Tanzanians-not only official government narratives.
Tundu Lissu remains in prison despite the Commonwealth’s 30-day call to resolve his detention. That deadline has now passed.
Enforced disappearances and abductions continue to raise serious concerns. Families are still searching for answers about loved ones who disappeared.
The October 29, 2025 killings cannot simply be forgotten. Families are still waiting to know what happened to their loved ones, where they were buried, and who will be held accountable.
A commission of inquiry cannot be the end of the process. Tanzania needs independent, credible investigations, truth, justice and accountability.
We also need clarity concerning former Vice President Emmanuel Nchimbi. He resigned, was subsequently expelled from CCM, and Tanzanians deserve transparency about what happened, why, and where he is now.
Meanwhile, dissent continues to be suppressed. Activists, journalists and critics continue to face intimidation and restrictions.
Reconciliation cannot simply mean moving forward without truth.
Tanzania needs:
TRUTH.
ACTION.
ACCOUNTABILITY.
We need Tundu Lissu FREE.
We need answers for the disappeared.
We need families to know the fate and burial places of their loved ones.
We need independent investigations into the October 29 violence and subsequent abuses.
We need protection for peaceful political expression and human-rights defenders.
And we need the Commonwealth to act when its own commitments and deadlines are not fulfilled.
The Commonwealth has already spoken.
The 30-day benchmark has passed.
WHAT ACTION WILL THE COMMONWEALTH TAKE?
Tanzanians are watching. Families are waiting. The world is watching.

The EPP Group has nominated lawyer, human rights activist and politician Mr Tundu Lissu as a candidate for the Sakharov Prize.
After surviving a 2017 assassination attempt, Mr Lissu returned to Tanzania to continue advocating democratic reform, only to face arrest, treason charges and exclusion from the 2025 presidential election, while his party was barred from participating.
His case reflects the wider erosion of democratic pluralism and political competition in Tanzania.
For the EPP Group, Mr Lissu represents a powerful combination of personal courage, democratic conviction and geopolitical relevance. His nomination affirms that Europe stands with those defending constitutional democracy and political freedom in Africa and in other partner countries of the EU. Mr Lissu embodies the defence of democracy, political pluralism, the rule of law and fundamental freedoms at extraordinary personal cost.
The Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought is the highest tribute paid by the European Union to human rights work.
Bwana you are not ready for my Dad!😂
Mnapiga Rally Moja Jacaranda yet sisi we have over 20 rallies across the country!
Wantam FOOLS will see bad this here ahead.
"Kila silaha itakayofanyika juu yako haitafanikiwa na kila ulimi utakaoinuka juu yako katika hukumu utauhukumu kuwa mkosa. Huu ndio urithi wa watumishi wa Bwana, na haki yao inayotoka kwangu mimi, asema Bwana" Isaya 54:17
Keep the fight tight makamu @HecheJohn ✊
. @HecheJohn Keep standing with the people……….. WANANCHI KWANZA, CHAMA BAADAE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wewe na Lissu mnashikilia ndoto zetu na matumaini yetu. Kila kitu tumeweka kwenye mikono yenu nyinyi wawili.
Please msituangushe,
Sisi hatutaki maridhiano na waliotuua kabla ya uwajibikaji na ukweli wa October 29. Hatutaki na hatutayatambua maridhiano ambayo hayatosimamiwa na International community. Na bila Tundu Lissu mezani kutuwakilisha Watanganyika hatutatambua maridhiano yoyote. Na wakimnyonga ndio wasahau kuna kitu kinaitwa maridhiano kitakaa kitokee Tanzania. THIS IS A PROMISE!!!!! Ni itakuwa mtifuko mpaka milele!!!!!!
@HecheJohn Sisi wananchi tuliopigwa risasi kama mbwa hatutaki kupeleka pole wala rambi rambi kwa shetani wa miguu miwili alietuua kama kuku.
Tuko tayari kuishi kwa chuki na mshike mshike mpaka haki itakopatikana ila katu hatutaki amani ya kinafki na waliotuua ili washikilie madaraka bila idhini yetu.
Na katu hatutokubali statement za ‘Let Love lead’ tunataka statement za ‘LET JUSTICE LEAD’. Love iliisha October 29 2025, sasa kinachotafutwa ni haki. Haki ikipatikana Love itakuja yenyewe.
Na katu hatutokubali kumtambua Samia Suluhu kama Rais wa Tanzania au serikali yake kama serikali halali.
Huu ndio msimamo wa wananchi, NAWASILISHA!!!!!!
