In too many places, human rights are being violated, humanitarian assistance is being denied & human lives are lost.
Reversing these trends requires respect for the @UN Charter, stronger multilateral cooperation & more meaningful negotiation.
I urge Heads of State and the leaders of nations to listen to the cry of the poorest. There can be no peace without justice. The poor remind us of this in many ways, through migration as well as through their cries, which are often stifled by the myth of well-being and progress, which does not take everyone into account.
Ireland fully supports the UN Human Rights Commissioner’s @volker_turk call for investigations into the election-related killings and other violations in Tanzania.

This is thirty-one-year-old Jenifer “Niffer” Jovin, a Tanzanian businesswoman who has been arrested and charged with TREASON; a crime punishable by death in Tanzania.
Her alleged offence? Taking part in this viral video “Nywinywi” Challenge. She was charged with treason for this specific video.
The Tanzanian regime accuses her of two counts of treason, conspiracy to damage infrastructure, and incitement during the general election — all stemming from this harmless online challenge.
That is how absurd and repressive Madam Dictator’s Tanzania has become, a complete laughing stock before the world.
The challenge uses the Swahili phrase “Hakutakuwa na nywinywi, nywinywi wala nywenywinyi”, which is loosely translated as “no more excuses” or “we are done being fooled”.
Jenifer “Niffer” Jovin was tortured while in police custody in Tanzania. Her lawyer stated in court that she was physically assaulted by police officers, and forced to sign a statement.
The lawyer also said that on 5 November, 21 of her co-accused had visible injuries, some still limping or bearing gunshot wounds. That is how shameless Madam Dictator’s regime has become, a bloody stain on Tanzania’s reputation.
Tanzania is facing a deepening human rights crisis. Under President Samia Suluhu Hasan, Tanzanian authorities have been deliberately silencing dissent by targeting government critics, journalists, civil society, human rights defenders, and opposition voices.
Take action with Amnesty International and call on the African Union and the Africa Commission for Human and People’s Rights to take urgent action: https://t.co/62uAIEzdpT

In other words, @SADC_News Observation mission says; @SuluhuSamia robbed Tanzania election.
1. Police outnumbered voters in polling stations
2. Polling stations didn't have voters at all.
3. Ballot staffing observed.
You can't unseat a dictator from power via the ballot or election.
They will rig, imprison, abduct, kill to remain in power.
Samia Suluhu betrays the dreams and aspirations of all African Women.
HRF condemns the staging of a closed swearing-in ceremony for Tanzanian dictator Samia Suluhu Hassan today. Hassan declared victory with 98% of the vote in last week’s sham elections, with two major opposition parties barred from participating and opposition leader Tundu Lissu in jail.
