Interesting chat earlier: You know it's important to be neutral as an analyst? Me: for sure, impartiality matters and we've to constantly confront our biases. But when madness is unfolding, neutrality becomes apologism for upuusi.

Reports last week Ugandan mercenaries were deployed to Tz to back up police thuggery. GoT spinning majority of protestors were from Kenya Basically UPDF mercenaries killed thousands of Kenyan youth in Tz Upuusi wa @jumuiya
Samia Suluhu can surrender to Kenya the bodies of the 1,000 Kenyan liberators killed in Tanzania. We owe them heroes burials.

And I should add here, I know for many there'll never be such a thing like returning to normal
And when the dust settles and we return to some degree of normality, we will go back to Ngogwe, biggest enablers

CCM sio chama cha siasa ni kikundi cha wahuni wanaotumia dola kupora uchaguzi na kufanya matendo haramu kwa wananchi. Tanzania inaingizwa gizani kwa maslahi ya urafi wa madaraka. Tusichoke tuendelee kupambana ukombozi unakaribia

SADC is a club na observers historically wamekuwa friendly kwa wanachama. Ukiona mpaka SADC wamefika kuandika report kama hii, ni wazi kuwa upuusi ulizidi kiwango kabisa. Even Alex Lukashenko hawezi fika level hizi
Sijawahi ona SADC wamekuwa wawazi kama wakati huu.

Even Zimbabwe's autocratic VP and retired ZNA General Chiwenga is disturbed by events in #Tanzania
📹 Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, who represented Zimbabwe at the inauguration of President Samia Suluhu on Monday says “the situation that has happened in Tanzania is quite disturbing and it’s something that has got to be avoided at all costs.”

Early days but looks like super low voter turnout Poor show from team Tunatiki and very underwhelming from Tunatoka gang. Apathy and silent protest #Tanzania

Expect lots of such names Sheikh Hasina Aung San Suu Kyi And more
Tanzania's Sheikh Hasina! President Samia Suluhu Hassan of Tanzania won her 2nd term on November 1, 2025, after the Election Commission announced she received 98% of votes. Opposition was not allowed to contest. Nearly 800 dead in violent protests.

TPDF gone from heroes on Wednesday to to betrayers, enablers and accomplices.
We ended up with this sadly Even when I came up with this possible scenario, I never imagined things would turn so ugly and devastating 😥 This country will never be the same again #Tanzania

SADC observers were treated like thugs. But why even bother to observe such a charade? Full report 👇 https://t.co/hWxJBALjVX

I've been hearing these sentiments loudly lately.. Ni sawa kabisa, huwezi karibu na watu wanaofurahia na kutetea mauaji na utekaji. Lakini sisi wengine tuliacha huo urafiki na Undugu na wao toka 2019 I lost so many 'friends' in the past 6 years and rightly so. No regrets
Undugu na mwanachama wa ccm? NO Urafiki? No Tumemalizana mimi nina imani na hofu ya Mungu.❤️
