Tanzanian opposition leader Tundu Lissu has hit out at President Samia Suluhu following the arrest of his Chadema colleagues. The police arrested the chairperson of Chadema party Freeman Mbowe on Tuesday night while attending party meetings in Mwanza. Through his Twitter account, Lissu said that there was hope when Suluhu took over the leadership, but the start of arrests has dashed any such hope. “When President Samia Suluhu Hassan took over, there's hope that Magufuli's reign of terror and war on democracy would end. Last night's arrest of Chairman Mbowe and CHADEMA leaders has dashed any such hope,” Lissu said.
