Tanzania’s police boss has issued a strong statement claiming that the ongoing protests in the country are being fueled by foreigners who allegedly entered the nation illegally. According to the police, the individuals leading the demonstrations are not Tanzanian citizens but outsiders who have infiltrated the country to cause chaos and disrupt peace.
The police chief also issued a stern warning to foreigners who entered Tanzania illegally, urging them to vacate the country immediately. He accused them of fueling instability and organizing demonstrations aimed at toppling the government. “Tanzania will not be a playground for foreign agitators,” he warned. “Anyone found violating our laws or inciting citizens will be dealt with accordingly.”
Despite the government’s heavy response, protests continue to spread across several Tanzanian towns, with demonstrators calling for President Samia Suluhu to resign. The situation remains tense as police and military officers maintain a heavy presence in major cities, while human rights groups raise concerns about alleged extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances. Regional leaders are closely monitoring the situation, as fears grow that the unrest could spill over into neighboring countries.
