✍️ Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan is criticized for her authoritarian streak and human rights abuses ahead of the country's October 29 elections.
👉 Hassan's government has been accused of repression, including arbitrary arrests, enforced disappearances, and extrajudicial killings. 👉 The opposition party Chadema has been disqualified from participating in the elections, and its leader Tundu Lissu is currently jailed on treason charges. 👉 Hassan has been criticized for her failure to distance herself from human rights abuses and for her role as head of state and commander-in-chief, giving her authority to end the violations. 👉 The country's election is expected to be a one-sided affair, with Hassan facing minimal opposition.
