Leo ni siku njema kwa Watanzania.
@SenTedCruz@SenatorShaheen@SFRCdems@SenateForeign
Thank you so much for continuing to stand with the people of Tanzania.
The illegitimate government of Tanzania is trying to persuade America to look the other way by offering business deals. We are grateful that America is choosing to stand on the right side of history instead.
Watanzania Wamarekani bado wanasimama nyuma yetu ili tupate accountability ya mauaji ya October 29 ila ni lazma sisi wenyewe tuendelee kupambana on the ground. No one is coming to save us, we have to save ourselves. Lazma tuipiganie nchi yetu mpaka ipate haki.
🚨 BREAKING: WE WON TODAY! 🚨
We did not give up. We did not stay silent. Today, we moved one step closer to justice.
The Reassessing the United States–Tanzania Bilateral Relationship Act has passed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and now advances forward.
This moment belongs to every mother who buried a child, every family still searching for answers, every victim of violence, every religious leader who stood firm, every journalist who spoke the truth, every activist who refused to be intimidated, and every Tanzanian who never stopped believing that accountability matters.
This is not the finish line.
But today, the world heard Tanzania.
Today, truth prevailed over propaganda.
Today, hope prevailed over fear.
Today, we moved one step closer to justice and accountability.
To everyone who prayed, advocated, testified, contacted congressional offices, shared evidence, and refused to look away-thank you.
The journey continues, but today we pause to thank God.
Justice delayed is not justice denied.
Safari bado inaendelea- ila leo haki imeshinda💪🏽
Thank you also to all senates and their staffers that heard our cries.
🇹🇿🙏🏾🇺🇸
🚨 HABARI NJEMA: TUMEPATA USHINDI LEO!
Hatukukata tamaa. Hatukukaa kimya.
Leo tumepiga hatua moja muhimu kuelekea haki.
Muswada wa Reassessing the United States–Tanzania Bilateral Relationship Act umepitishwa na Kamati ya Mahusiano ya Nje ya Seneti ya Marekani (Senate Foreign Relations Committee) na sasa unasonga mbele katika hatua zinazofuata.
Ushindi huu ni wa kila mama aliyempoteza mwanae, kila familia ambayo bado inatafuta majibu, kila mwathirika wa ukatili, kila kiongozi wa dini aliyesimama imara, kila mwanahabari aliyesema ukweli, kila mwanaharakati aliyekataa kutishwa, na kila Mtanzania ambaye hakuwahi kuacha kuamini kwamba uwajibikaji ni muhimu.
Huu si mwisho wa safari.
Lakini leo, dunia imeisikia Tanzania.
Leo, ukweli umeshinda propaganda. (Niliwaambia ile picha ya mkono wa bendera ya Tanzania ikishikana na ya marekani yaliyochapishwa na hayo magazeti yaliyonunuliwa ni propaganda- leo si kimewaka?)
Leo, matumaini yameshinda hofu.
Leo, tumesogea hatua moja karibu zaidi na haki na uwajibikaji.
Kwa kila aliyeomba, aliyehamasisha, aliyetoa ushuhuda, aliyewasiliana na viongozi wa Marekani, aliyeshiriki ushahidi, na aliyekataa kugeuza macho yake pembeni -asanteni sana.
Safari bado inaendelea, lakini leo tunasimama na kumshukuru Mungu.
Haki iliyocheleweshwa si haki iliyonyimwa.
Now muachieni na Lissu
🇹🇿🙏🏾🇺🇸

🚨 SHAME ON TANZANIA’S JUDICIARY!
The Court of Appeal was supposed to hear Tundu Lissu’s case tomorrow, June 11. Now they’ve shamelessly pushed it to July 3, another deliberate delay in this political persecution!
Even under our own laws (Appellate Jurisdiction Act), this endless adjournment of interlocutory matters is ABUSE of process. Not justice, but a weapon to keep a leader behind bars.
This is not a court , it’s a regime tool! #FreeTunduLissu @judiciarytz #TanzaniaJudiciaryCorrupt
Mnaua watu kwa maelfu, Mnateka watu na kuwapoteza. Mnaiba uchaguzi kwa nguvu..
Alafu mnasema kuna watu wanawaonea wivu kwasababu ya rasimali!!!!
Hivi mnawaona Watanzania ni wajinga?
Kwamba Mataifa ya nje ndio yaliwatuma kuiba uchaguzi ambao hamjashinda!!!!
Watu sio sisimizi mmeua lazima muwajibike.
Nimepokea taarifa ya kukamatwa kwa SAILENCE MWAKASALA Mwenyekiti wa CHADEMA Student Organization mkoa wa Mwanza mchana huu, Polisi 5 mmoja tu ndiye aliyevalia sare wakiwa na mitutu ya bunduki wamevamia nyumbani kwake na kumchukua kwa nguvu. Tunaendelea kufuatilia kila hatua.

Below is Meta’s own admission, published through its transparency disclosures, that it was pressured by the Tanzanian government to remove content posted by activists and to delete their accounts altogether.
I am the U.S.-based user referenced in these disclosures. All three reports refer to me, @MariaSTsehai, and @Sativa255.
This should concern every American based activist who values free speech.
When a foreign government can pressure a U.S. technology company into silencing voices that are speaking out about human rights abuses, It becomes a direct challenge to the principles of free expression that America was built upon.
The U.S. government cannot allow foreign governments to exercise this level of influence over American technology companies. If authoritarian regimes can dictate who is allowed to speak on U.S.-based platforms, then the rights of American users and the integrity of America’s digital public square are at risk.
@POTUS@realDonaldTrump@SenatorShaheen@SenTedCruz@SenateForeign
It would be a grave mistake for the U.S. Senate to address the October 29 massacre in Tanzania without also examining the role that @Meta played in helping the Tanzanian government conceal the killings and extend its repression beyond Tanzania’s borders.
When a foreign government can pressure a U.S. technology company into silencing critics, while the U.S. government itself appears unable to protect those voices, it raises serious national security and free speech concerns.
I was sitting in Los Angeles, California, yet I lost my voice on a major social media platform because of actions taken by the Tanzanian government through a U.S. tech company. The repression did not stop at Tanzania’s borders, it followed its critics into the United States.
No government should be allowed to use American platforms to suppress dissent, silence victims, or hide evidence of human rights abuses. Accountability must extend not only to those who commit atrocities, but also to those who enable their concealment.
At the very least META should face fines for its roles in the Tanzania massacre and human rights violations. Meta is an accessory after the fact.
@POTUS@SenateForeign@SFRCdems@SenTedCruz@SenatorShaheen@SecRubio@Meta@CNNAfrica@bbcswahili@LarryMadowo@tausilikokola@Liberatus80 We need to push for this as much as we are pushing for accountability from the Tz government. Bila kupata zile account za instagram hakuna movement ya maana Tufanya hapa.

Itakuwa kosa kubwa sana kwa Seneti ya Marekani kujadili mauaji ya kikatili ya Oktoba 29 nchini Tanzania bila pia kuchunguza nafasi ambayo Meta ilicheza katika kuisaidia serikali ya Tanzania kuficha mauaji hayo na kueneza ukandamizaji wake nje ya mipaka ya Tanzania.
Wakati serikali ya kigeni inaweza kuishinikiza kampuni ya teknolojia ya Marekani kuwanyamazisha wakosoaji wake, huku serikali ya Marekani yenyewe ikionekana kushindwa kulinda sauti hizo, jambo hilo linaibua wasiwasi mkubwa kuhusu usalama wa taifa na uhuru wa kujieleza.
Nilikuwa nimekaa Los Angeles, California, lakini nilinyang’anywa sauti yangu kwenye moja ya majukwaa makubwa ya mitandao ya kijamii kutokana na hatua zilizochukuliwa na serikali ya Tanzania kupitia kampuni ya teknolojia ya Marekani. Ukandamizaji huo haukusimama kwenye mipaka ya Tanzania; uliwafuata wakosoaji wake hadi Marekani.
Hakuna serikali inayopaswa kuruhusiwa kutumia majukwaa ya Marekani kukandamiza maoni tofauti, kuwanyamazisha waathirika, au kuficha ushahidi wa ukiukwaji wa haki za binadamu. Uwajibikaji haupaswi kuwahusu tu wale wanaotenda maovu hayo, bali pia wale wanaosaidia kuyaficha.
Angalau, Meta inapaswa kukabiliwa na faini kutokana na nafasi yake katika kuficha mauaji ya Tanzania na ukiukwaji wa haki za binadamu., Meta inaweza kuonekana kama mshirika aliyesaidia kuficha au kuwezesha vitendo hivyo baada ya kutokea kwake.
Haya maandamano ni ya muhimu sana na lazma yasukumwe sana na watu ambao mna access na wananchi both online and on the ground.
Watanzania no one is coming to save us. Lazma tujipiganie wenyewe. We have to fight for a new constitution, Tundu Lissu’s freedom, accountability for October 29 massacre. and we have to fight for new free and fair election.
International pressure itasaidia mauwaji kuogopa kuua tena ila the rest of the work Lazma tufaye wenyewe.
Watanzania hakuna movement ya maana tutaweza kufanya kupitia X. Ni lazma tuzipate accounts za instagram.
Ukombozi uko instagram na tiktok, huku X ni kwa ajili ya ku-communicate na dunia Ila hakuna connection na wananchi inaweza kufanyika kupitia X.
@tausilikokola@Liberatus80 Lazma tupush tupate senate intervention or hearing juu ya meta. Bila kupata platform ya instagram tutaishia kupiga midomo ila mobilization ya wananchi hakuna. Na CCM wanachoogopa ni wananchi kudai haki sio wana harakati kupiga kelele ambazo hazina effect kwa wananchi.
Sasa hivi what we need is kuamsha wananchi wawe focused kama kipindi cha uchaguzi. Tukimix mobilization ya wananchi kupitia social media plus international pressure tutashinda. Ila kwa hii strategy ya Sasa, just pushing for international pressure bila pressure ya wananchi hatutoboi….
Bila kupata accounts za instagram hakuna movement ya maana tutafanya.
We have to push for @meta to face pressure from human rights organizations and the senate to reactivate my Instagram accounts.
Dear Augustino Lissu, stay stronger and thank you for showing up to demand your father’s liberty. SC Tundu Lissu is extremely proud of you. Stay vigilant & unbowed, son. Wear that AURA and walk his talk, young🐐!
Why don’t you mention that the woman sitting on stage with Putin is Samia Suluhu, the illegitimate President of Tanzania?
Just eight months ago, she was oversaw a brutal crackdown in which more than 10,000 Tanzanians were killed, before subsequently claiming victory and retaining power.
She is the first Tanzanian president to visit Russia in over 55 years. This visit is not about diplomacy, but about seeking political protection as international pressure for accountability continues to grow from Western governments and human rights advocates.
Ignoring who she is and why she is there leaves out one of the most important parts of the story.
Dear Augustino Lissu, stay stronger and thank you for showing up to demand your father’s liberty. SC Tundu Lissu is extremely proud of you. Stay vigilant & unbowed, son. Wear that AURA and walk his talk, young🐐!
This 👇🏾 is Samia’s son Abdul Ameir Hafidh accused of crimes against humanity. shoved in the midst of the official delegation of Tanzania to Russia
His only claim to fame is being the President’s son yet here is front row!
Tanzania is officially a republic - but this family has zero understanding of this and behave like some royalty! How pathetic!
#SamiaMustGo
Samia suluhu after killed thousands of Tanzanians including children women’s and Men’s now she’s thinking putin will help him. Russia is a Christian country. You have been tortured, kidnapped, and had churches closed in Tanzania, and yet you have the audacity to go to Russia?. The era of your money and corruption is over. @SuluhuSamia@ikulumawasliano .
Dada @mangekimambi ameuliza swali muhimu kuhusu impeachment ya Makamu wa Rais!
Ibara ya 50 (3) inaeleza utaratibu
Utaratibu ni ule kama wa Rais isipokuwa kuna masharti ya ziada:
(a) Rais amewasilisha hati kwa Spika
inayoeleza kwamba Makamu wa Rais ameacha au ameshindwa kutekeleza
kazi za Makamu wa Rais;
(b) ametenda vitendo ambavyo kwa jumla vinaivunja Katiba au Sheria ya Maadili
ya Viongozi wa Umma;
(c) ametenda vitendo ambavyo vinakiuka
maadili yanayohusu uandikishwaji wa vyama vya siasa yaliyotajwa katika
ibara ya 20(2) ya Katiba;
(d) amekuwa na mwenendo unaodhalilisha kiti cha Rais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano au kiti cha Makamu wa Rais, na haitatolewa hoja ya namna hiyo ndani ya miezi kumi na miwili tangu hoja ilipotolewa na ikakataliwa na Bunge.
Kwa kifupi mchakato ni uleule (ibara ya 46A) kwa wote wawili na waondoke wote mtu na makamu wake 🤣
Mi nasema wabunge haramu wote na nyie ondokeniii tuanze Upyaaa! #SamiaMustGo #CCMmustgo
