Tanzania's Repressive Regime
As Tanzania's national elections approach, the country is becoming increasingly repressive under President Samia Suluhu Hassan.
Hassan, who is seeking re-election in October 2025, is adopting tactics similar to those of her predecessor, John Pombe Magufuli, who banned media, censored journalists, and rigged elections before his death in 2021.
- Banned media
- Censored journalists
- Hamstrung the opposition
- Rigged elections
Hassan has even surpassed Magufuli in autocratic measures, putting her chief opponent, Tundu Lissu, on trial for treason, a threshold not breached since Tanzania's transition to multipartyism in 1992.
President Samia Hassan, who is seeking re-election this month, increasingly resembles her predecessor John Magufuli.
Author's summary: Tanzania's President Hassan is becoming increasingly repressive.
