BREAKING: 🔴
U.S. President Donald Trump: "WE GOT HIM! My fellow Americans, over the past several hours, the United States Military pulled off one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in U.S. History, for one of our incredible Crew Member Officers, who also happens to be a highly respected Colonel, and who I am thrilled to let you know is now SAFE and SOUND! This brave Warrior was behind enemy lines in the treacherous mountains of Iran, being hunted down by our enemies, who were getting closer and closer by the hour, but was never truly alone because his Commander in Chief, Secretary of War, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and fellow Warfighters were monitoring his location 24 hours a day, and diligently planning for his rescue. At my direction, the U.S. Military sent dozens of aircraft, armed with the most lethal weapons in the World, to retrieve him. He sustained injuries, but he will be just fine. This miraculous Search and Rescue Operation comes in addition to a successful rescue of another brave Pilot, yesterday, which we did not confirm, because we did not want to jeopardize our second rescue operation. This is the first time in military memory that two U.S. Pilots have been rescued, separately, deep in Enemy Territory. WE WILL NEVER LEAVE AN AMERICAN WARFIGHTER BEHIND! The fact that we were able to pull off both of these operations, without a SINGLE American killed, or even wounded, just proves once again, that we have achieved overwhelming Air Dominance and Superiority over the Iranian skies. This is a moment that ALL Americans, Republican, Democrat, and everyone else, should be proud of and united around. We truly have the best, most professional, and lethal Military in the History of the World. GOD BLESS AMERICA, GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS, AND HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!"

Dear Mr. President,
My name is Mange Kimambi, and I am a Tanzanian pro-democracy activist who has been living in the United States since 2012. I am writing to bring to your attention what I believe to be a grave injustice committed against the people of Tanzania and myself by Meta, and to respectfully request your support in defending democratic activism and freedom of expression online.
Recently, my Meta accounts — including Instagram (@mangekimambi80), Instagram News media page owned by me (@wananchiforum), and my WhatsApp number (+1 424-537-3057) — were deactivated after I raised awareness about a series of severe abuses and horrific events occurring in Tanzania. These include, the kidnappings of regular citizens and kidnappings, killings and imprisonment of opposition leaders on fabricated treason charges, the barring of opposition parties from participating in the general election, widespread corruption, misuse of public funds, and the large-scale looting and exploitation of Tanzania’s natural resources by foreign governments such as the UAE, China, Oman, and most recently Russia, which is currently seeking access to Tanzania’s significant uranium deposits. Despite the country’s natural wealth, millions of Tanzanians continue to live in extreme poverty and lack even basic necessities — including clean drinking water — due to systemic corruption.
For months, I used my platforms to highlight these issues and consistently encouraged PEACEFUL protests, as many Tanzanians feel there is no safe alternative for expressing dissent. The government has been widely accused of kidnapping, torturing, or killing individuals who speak out against injustice, which makes digital communication one of the only remaining tools for civic engagement. Every post I made emphasized peaceful, non violent protests.
On October 29 2025— the day of the general election — protests led largely by Gen Z erupted across the country. These demonstrations were met with extreme state violence. Thousands of young Tanzanians were killed and many more injured as security forces responded with lethal force. The African Union, SADC, and the EU Parliament have all publicly condemned the compromised electoral process and the deadly violence that followed. Most Tanzanians view the President, Samia Suluhu Hassan — who claimed 97% of the vote — as an illegitimate president who chose to kill thousands of Tanzanian youth instead of stepping down from power. Numerous photos and videos documenting these horrific events and deaths remain visible on my X account (@mangekimambi).
My social-media platforms were essential tools for communicating with supporters, organizing peaceful civic action, and documenting human-rights abuses in real time. Their removal has severely hindered the ability of Tanzanians to access truthful information and to organize safely. Traditional media inside Tanzania has been effectively silenced; journalists who speak out risk being kidnapped, disappeared, or killed. This leaves social-media platforms run by diaspora activists like myself as one of the last remaining channels for Tanzanians to document and expose abuses.
I respectfully ask that you publicly urge Meta to reinstate my accounts without delay. I also request that you encourage Congress to consider legislation that grants activists and individuals with significant public platforms meaningful legal recourse when their accounts are removed without transparency, due process, or a clear path to appeal. Millions of people around the world — especially those advocating for democracy and human rights — depend on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, X and TikTok to have their voices heard. In today’s world, where civic freedoms and personal safety often depend on digital communication, these companies must be held accountable.
On the same day my accounts were removed, another prominent Tanzanian activist, Maria Sarungi @MariaSTsehai saw her Instagram page
Reading this made me feel a deep sense of gratitude. We live in a country where we can freely worship God.
No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion. We don’t have to share the same beliefs in order for us to respect each other.
Numerous countries all around the world are being affected by this horror & it’s dangerous to pretend we don’t notice.
Thank you to The President & his team for taking this seriously.
God bless every persecuted Christian.
Let’s remember to lift them up in prayer.
