KARIBU KWENYE MAPAMBANO, YOUNG LISSU 💪🏽🇹🇿Mashangazi, wajomba, na Watanganyika wengi tupo nyuma yako. 🙏🏽

Now that Augustino Lissu has given his blessing to share that he joined us in Washington, DC, I can honestly say that one of the most moving moments of my recent advocacy trip was having him alongside my own son. Both are university students studying political science, being there with us.

Augustino is the son of Tundu Lissu. His father remains in prison in Tanzania after dedicating much of his life to advocating for democracy, justice, the rule of law, free and fair elections, and reforms. This is the same man who survived an assassination attempt in which 16 bullets were removed from his body. One bullet reportedly remains because of its proximity to his spine. 😢

Augustino shared his personal experience with Senate and Congressional offices, speaking not as a politician, but as a son who has grown up in the shadow of violence against his father and the long absences caused by political persecution, exile, and imprisonment. Sadly, family separation is a reality that many Tanzanian families have experienced.

He spoke about missing the simple moments many young people take for granted -a father being present, offering guidance, sharing ordinary childhood experiences.

One statement stayed with me:

“I never really got to play catch with my father because his arm could not fully stretch anymore. All I know is that throughout my father’s adult life, he has fought for what he believed was right, and he has been punished for it.”

To sit in that room and listen to his testimony was deeply emotional. No lens or sunglasses could hide my tears. And with my own son sitting beside me, the weight of that moment became even more personal.

It is painful that Tundu Lissu, after surviving violence and dedicating his life to public service and advocacy, remains in custody amid ongoing concerns about his health and access to appropriate medical care & missing health checkups.

Whether one agrees with him politically or not, every human being deserves due process, dignity, and justice.

How can this be normalized? How can this continue without accountability?

What exactly is his wrongdoing other than advocating for the principles he believes in?

We continue to call for the release of Tundu Lissu and for justice for all those who remain detained, disappeared, persecuted, or targeted for speaking their truth.

Release Tundu Lissu. Deliver justice.

🇹🇿🙏🏽

#TajiriLaKihaya

Ni Ukweli Usiopingika kwamba WANAHARAKATI WANALIPWA….

hasa waliopo Nje ya nchi kwa huku kwetu na kuna foundations kibao tu za HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVISTS karibu kila Nchi duniani kote….

ila Kwa yaliotokea Oct 29. haikuhusiana na Malipo haya wala msukumo wa wanaharakati…

Wananchi wenyewe tu walichoka… kuna raia waliandamana hata hawana SmartPhone… wengine hawapo hata mitandaoni…

Yaliotokea ni matunda ya Udhalimu wa Viongozi wetu….

Huwezi zuia chama kikuu cha Upinzani chama kinachoPendwa zaidi Tanzania nzima- KUTOSHIRIKI UCHAGUZI MKUU…

Umfunge Mgombea Urais wa Chama…anaependwa zaidi na Vijana…

Alafu u expect ZERO REACTION… HAIWEZEKANI!

Tusijifiche kwenye malipo ya FORD FOUNDATION…

Hawajaanza leo kulipwa… wanalipwa toka enzi… kila mtu analifaham hili… wanalipiwa RENT, CHAKULA na UPKEEP ZOTE na hata Kutoa Elimu, yale ma space nk. Ni kazi kama kazi zingine tu. Wengine wanaotaka kuongeza Elimu… wanapewa ufadhili!

Hili lipo wazi… na sijui kwa nn WANAHARAKATI wanalificha hili,hawataki lijulikane!

Ila haihusiani kivyovyote vile na yaliotokea Oct 29th.

Tuliweke hili sawa!

While you are sanctioning the killers of Tanzania, please follow the money trail to Dubai.

Mos of the money Samia Suluhu, her son Abdul and their associates have stolen in Tanzania goes to the UAE through this bank ,CRDB.

Please INVESTIGATE CRDB bank and you will find all the BLOOD MONEY!!!!!! THIS BANK ITSELF NEEDS TO BE SANCTIONED. Please FREEZE ALL THEIR ASSETS AND THOSE OF THEIR RICH BUSINESS ASSOCIATES.

Samia Suluhu’ son, Abdul was gifted a UAE citizenship. Please follow the money through CRDB bank!!!!

I want to emphasize this. ALL ROADS LEAD TO DUBAI.

Nimefikiri na kutafakari kwa muda mrefu baada ya matukio ya ukiukwaji wa haki, utu na dhuluma dhidi ya uhai wa binadamu yaliyotokea tarehe 29 Oktoba 2025. Siwezi kuendelea kuishi katika huzuni na ukimya tena.

Kwa dhamira yangu binafsi, leo nimejiondoa rasmi kutoka CCM na kurejea CHADEMA kwa kufuata taratibu zote za CHADEMA.

Kwa Watanzania wote, na wanachama wa CHADEMA wale walioumizwa au kukatishwa tamaa na msimamo wangu wa awali, naomba radhi kwa dhati pale nilipokuwa kinyume na matarajio yetu ya pamoja katika safari ya kutafuta haki, utu na demokrasia ya kweli.

Naam, binadamu hukosea, lakini dhamira inapozinduka ni wajibu kusimama upande unaouona kuwa wa kweli na wa haki.

Asanteni Sana.

Sad hii ndio shida yetu wengi tukiwepo sehemu zenye fursa, tunataka kuonekana tupo hapo ila tupate picha zakupost na story za kusimulia ila hatufaidiki na chochote kifursa

Sitaki sema Jemedari alimkuta Juma Offguard but trust me chukua waandishi wote waliokuwepo kwenye huu msafara wa Rio, hata ule wa Drogba na mingine mingi itakayokuja na uwaulize same questions amini hawatakua na positive context wala majibu ya maana zaidi ya kuruka ruka

Nazijua changamoto za wanahabari na maripota (nimeishi huko) ila kuna muda tunatakiwa kujua aim ya msingi ya kila tunachofanya au kushiriki na sio tu kuonekana ulikuwepo au ulishiriki halafu basi utaishia kupost tu picha na kuhadithia kwa wanao

Content creators wanapata content kwenye mambo kama haya sababu ya field yao ila Mwanahabari ambaye amekua kwenye msafara wote amesikiliza speechs, amefanya interview lakini still hana anything ya maana yakuzungumzia ziara aliyoishiriki

🚶🏾‍♂️kazi ipo
