Dear Secretary Rubio @marcorubio@SecRubio@POTUS the people of Tanzania are pleading with you to do something on torture and extralegal killings to citizens by @ikulumawasliano and @SuluhuSamia. They have done to Tanzanians for a long time. Now they cross borders. Sanction them
The United States is deeply concerned by reports of the mistreatment in Tanzania of two East African activists – Ugandan activist Agather Atuhaire and Kenyan activist Boniface Mwangi. Atuhaire was recognized by @StateDept in 2024 as an International Women of Courage Awardee. We call for an immediate and full investigation into the allegations of human rights abuses. We urge all countries in the region to hold to account those responsible for violating human rights, including torture.
@StateDept below is a list of persons behind the continued torture and persecution of citizens in #Tanzania. Led by president @SuluhuSamia it torturs and kills many innocent civilians now has crossed borders by torturing and abusing @bonifacemwangi and @AAgather of Kenya & Uganda
We had started mapping out the @SuluhuSamia shadowy group (taskforce) who run these horrendous operations
We need to finesse this in order to ensure they all are held accountable
Karibuni tukamiliahe hili bango!
Mnaona sifa kuteka na kutesa na kuua sasa acha muwe maarufu duniani kama watesajj na wauaji 👊🏽
#TutaelewanaTu
Huyu mjinga aliriport tu polisi wakamwachia
Yeye ndiye anahusika na haya mambo , Samia aliingilia kati kwa kusema Father Kitima ameyataka mwenyewe
Natoa raia kwa Wajumbe wa BAKWATA chochote mlicho record na kufanya sio ya tukio la Father Kitima watu wema wametuambia ndani ya Mfumo
Siku ya Tukio Mjumbe wa BAKWATA alikuwa anatuma taarifa serikalini na akaambiwa amtuhumu Father kitima kwamba anajaribu kufanya mapinduzi ya Serikali
Kisha baadaye akashambuliwa, Serikali
Mmeficha hii taarifa , kwa nini mlipandikiza watu kwa kivuli cha BAKWATA ?
Kumbe ndio maana mlianza kusema alikwenda kupata kinywaji sababu toka mchana mlikuwa na hasira na mjadala uliofanyika hapo kwenye mkutano , baada ya mapandikizi yenu ku fail mkampiga father kitima
Mafwele umesikika mara kadhaa ukiambia askari kwamba shambulio
La Father Kitima ni la kisiasa !!! Kivipi na nani?

- Age: 47 years
- Tribe: Mkerewe
- Religion: Christian
- Residence: Mikocheni
- Occupation: Senior Police Officer
- Rank: Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP)

Details and Allegations:
1. Public Accusation by Edger Edson Mwakabela (Sativa): For the first time, ACP Faustine Mafwele was publicly identified and confirmed by Sativa as a senior Tanzania Police Force officer who ordered his abduction, transportation to Arusha and Katavi, and a gunshot to the head, though he survived the assassination attempt.
2. Previous Roles and Incidents in Arusha:
- Served as Officer Commanding Criminal Investigation Department (OC-CID) in Arusha from 2011–2015 and later as Regional Crimes Officer (RCO) for Arusha Region.
- During the killings of CHADEMA members during protests in Arusha on January 4, 2011, he was OC-CID.
- On January 5, 2012, while holding the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police, Mafwele was shot by a criminal in Arusha during a shootout between the police and criminals. One police officer was killed, and Mafwele received treatment at Seriani Hospital.
3. Zonal Crime Officer (ZCO) Role: Served as ZCO for the MKIRU Special Zone (Mkuranga, Kibiti, Rufiji).
4. Widespread Allegations: Approximately 90% of complaints from families regarding abductions, disappearances, or murders of their relatives point to ACP Faustine Mafwele as the orchestrator of these heinous acts.
5. Fear Within Police Ranks: Despite not holding significant authority, Mafwele is feared by both his peers and superiors in the Tanzania Police Force, from the Dar es Salaam Special Zone to Police Headquarters in Dodoma.
6. Unconfirmed Allegations of Dual Role: There are unverified claims that Mafwele is a Penetrating Officer (PE) for the National Security Department, working dual roles, which makes police leadership fear him, believing his actions are backed by the National Security Department.
7. Transfer to Mwanza and Further Allegations:
- After completing his role as ZCO in MKIRU, he was transferred to Mwanza as RCO.
- In 2021, William Sije accused RCO Mafwele of killing his son, James William Sije, bringing Mafwele’s alleged brutality to public attention.

9. Protection by CCM Government: Mafwele’s knowledge of sensitive information allegedly makes CCM government leaders fear and protect him, believing he could expose damaging secrets. Despite numerous complaints, authorities are reluctant to take action against him.
10. Specific Allegations of Involvement in Disappearances and Killings: Mafwele is accused by multiple families of direct involvement in the following cases:
- Disappearance of businessman Musa Mziba.
- Disappearance of Deo Mugasa.
- Disappearance of Adinani Hussein Mbezi.
- Disappearance of five youths from Aggrey.
- Abduction and shooting of Edger Edson Mwakabela.
- On August 22, 2024, CHADEMA Chairman Freeman Mbowe accused Mafwele and his gang of involvement in the disappearance of Godwin Mlay, Deusdedith Soka, and Frank Mbise.
11. Self-Appointed Role and Defiance: In a display of arrogance and fearlessness, Mafwele has appointed himself as Chairman of Regional Crimes Officers (Ma-RCO), contrary to the Tanzania Police Force’s tradition of Ma-RCO being under the supervision of the Director of Criminal Investigation (DCI).
12. Call to Action: The author, Boniface Jacob (former Mayor of Kinondoni & Ubungo, contact: 0712 239 595), emphasizes the need to document ACP Faustine Mafwele’s profile and allegations to ensure he is brought justice
@DrTaxs@SuluhuSamia Mna roho mbaya ya kuamrisha ubakaji na ukatili kwa mwanamke Mganda aliyekuja tu kuangalia kesi. Mungu awalipe sawasawa na ubaya wenu.
She is a dedicated human rights defender, a believer in justice. That is the @AAgather we know. Read her profile as written by our RD @TigereChagutah after she was named among the finalists of 2024 #TIME1OONEXT

@AAgather, a 2024 #OsloFreedomForum speaker, was found dumped at the land border between Tanzania and Uganda with signs of torture, including visibly swollen legs from beating. She and Mwangi had been missing since Tuesday. https://t.co/7iNZ5HyiNa
Rais Kaguta Yoweri Museveni @KagutaMuseveni na kaka CDF @mkainerugaba@mkainerugabaa I would like to ask to write to Samia Suluhu Hassan @SuluhuSamia to ask to apologize for damaging the good relations between Uganda and Tanzania citizens. This torture saga is unfair to humanity
Haya mabosi zangu wametoa ruhusa iletwe huku.

Mwezi April Mkuu wa Polisi Tanzania alienda CRDB akadeposit 68M in cash. Hizi pesa zilitoka wapi? Alafu jiulize deposit 68M nyumbani alibakiza ngapi.?
.
Same month CRDB wamempa Mkuu wa polisi mkopo wa 1B. CRDB needs to be investigated, kuna michezo inachezwa na serikali pale CRDB ya utakatishaji pesa. An investigation is needed.
.
Imagine mkuu wa polis ana balance ya 1B bank, mnadhani ataacha kupiga wananchi ili na yeye aendelee kutafuna nchi??? Unadhani ataacha kuteka na kuua wapinzani ili chama tawala kibaki madarakani?
.
Na nimeambiwa ana account ya USD pia, hii ni ya TSh tu hali ni hayo..
