Exiled Tanzanian opposition leader Tundu Lissuis returning into the country from Belgium where he has been receiving specialised treatment for three-years after his assassination attempt in 2017. Tumaini Makene, Chadema’s Head of Communication and Information Department spoke to Standard Digital from Tanzania and confirmed Lissu’s return. Maria Sarungi Tsehai, a vocal Tanzanian on Twitter argued that it was not reasonable for authorities to ban Lissu’s supporters from receiving him. Vitus Nkuna expressing his joy tweeted, ‘’Lissu is coming back, we will be at the Julius Nyerere airport to receive him,’’. Committee on the human rights of parliamentarians IPU has urged the authorities in Tanzania to ensure the safety of Lissu.
