🧵1: During the election protests between 29 October and 3 November 2025, security forces in #Tanzania used unnecessary or disproportionate force including acts of torture and ill-treatment on protesters and bystanders who did not appear to pose any imminent threat.

The pregame analysis during the AFCON where they'll show the drone shots of Talanta Stadium and the Southern bypass would have the continent thinking we are a serious country.

Kenya’s young activists are facing tech-facilitated violence, harassment, and surveillance for speaking truth to power. Tomorrow, Amnesty International releases a report exposing these abuses and calling for urgent action.

@VOCALAfrica_ @LawSocietyofKe @AmnestyKenya welcome the release of Nicholas Oyoo and Bob Njagi last night after 38 days of their enforced disappearance. We extend our appreciation to the Kenyan and Ugandan governments at the highest level and the immediate former President of Kenya for their cooperation towards their safe return. We thank their families, Free Kenya movement colleagues, human rights defenders, journalists, diplomats and active citizens who have tirelessly campaigned for this moment. Let this moment signal an important shift towards upholding the human rights of East Africans anywhere in East African Community. We are facilitating their transfer to Nairobi and will give details of their arrival for family, friends and comrades to meet them.

[Amnesty Kenya @AmnestyKenya]

After 38 days of relentless advocacy, our comrades Bob Njagi and Nicholas Oloo are HOME!

Their resilience is incredible, and your support made this happen! This is what collective action looks like.

Next, we focus on healing: ensuring they receive the full psychosocial and medical care they deserve. #TheyAreHomeKE

[Amnesty Kenya @AmnestyKenya]

The 38-day detention of our comrades is a flagrant violation of human rights and amounts to an international crime. This injustice will not stand! We demand a full accounting and immediate justice. Accountability NOW! #TheyAreHomeKE

[VOCAL Africa @VOCALAfrica_]

BRING HIM HOME!

The grieving family of John Okoth Ogutu, the Kenyan teacher tragically killed in Dar es Salaam, is desperately calling on the Government of Kenya to urgently intervene and repatriate his body.

@TitoMagoti has shared his opinion on how Tanzania should move forward on @AJEnglish. Among many other sensitive matters, he emphasised that Tanzania needs a new Constitution which sets a foundation for “autonomy” of other government bodies, which is now non-existent.

[Shakira Wanjira Naliaka Wafula @fit_ermined]

Get in!!! 🇹🇿🔥 Tanzania getting solid support from Zambians, Kenyans, and Malawians at the border! 🥹👏🏾 Africa is our business. Africa is home; and home must be respected. ✊🏾🌍 #EyesOnTz

[Jenerali Ulimwengu @raiyajenerali]

There is absolutely no justification for what is happening in TZ right now, the killing of our people, ABSOLUTELY NONE WHATSOEVER!! STOP THIS MADNESS OF THINKING OUR PEOPLE ARE YOUR SLAVES AND THEY CANNOT THROW OFF THE YOKE OF YOUR ENSLAVEMENT. YES THEY CAN AND THEY WILL, IN THE FULLNESS OF TIME, WHICH COULD BE NOW!

The only thing sustaining the three East African presidents in power is murdering their own citizens daily 😔.

[Maria Sarungi Tsehai @MariaSTsehai]

So apparently churches have been instructed to tell their comgregations to stay at home and not go to worship
But why is the winner of a free and fair election with 30+ million votes scared of? 🙄
They fear gathering of people! The internet shutdown is still on!
And the Gen Z 🇹🇿 are pushing on 💪🏽
As I said the world doesn’t truly know us, the people of Tanganyika!

No electoral result reported at 98% is credible. In this case in #Tanzania, key opposition figures were detained, there was pre-election violence, & since the election 100s of people are reported to have been killed by security forces. These are desperate days for Tanzania 🇹🇿.

[M A G U N G A @theMagunga]

Congratulations Mama @SuluhuSamia

[Jeffrey Smith @Smith_JeffreyT]

Does a moment ever come when leaders like @SuluhuSamia in #Tanzania look themselves in the mirror and question if it's all worth the lost lives, the innocence shattered, and the ruined reputation?

Do despots ever feel remorse—or is conscience the first casualty of power?

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Deeply concerned by the situation in Tanzania, including reports of deaths & injuries during demonstrations.

I call on all to exercise restraint, reject violence & engage in inclusive & constructive dialogue to prevent further escalation.

The @UN stands ready to support efforts aimed at fostering dialogue, strengthening democratic governance & promoting sustainable peace in Tanzania.

[Amnesty Eastern Africa @AmnestyEARO]

As @amnesty monitors the human rights situation in Tanzania, we call on the authorities to uphold human rights during the ongoing electoral process. Tanzania must #ProtectTheProtest

[Jeffrey Smith @Smith_JeffreyT]

Once again, @iGaddo nails it -- this time it's #Tanzania.

[Amnesty Eastern Africa @AmnestyEARO]

Today @amnesty launched a new briefing on the human rights situation in Tanzania ahead of General elections.
