The Tanzanian government, through its Ministry of Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation, issued a press release on Friday, December 5, 2025, addressing numerous statements and public remarks received from international partners regarding the events and violence that followed the country’s October election.<\/p>\n

President Samia Suluhu’s administration confirmed that it had received and officially taken note of the statements from a wide array of international actors, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, and several other European nations. Statements were also received from the European Union Delegation, the UN Human Rights Council, Ghana, and the Thabo Mbeki Foundation.<\/p>\n

In its official response, Tanzania acknowledged the vital role the international community plays in promoting democracy and socio-political development within the country.<\/p>\n

Commission of Inquiry to Be Established<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In a significant move, the government announced that it would establish a Commission of Inquiry dedicated to thoroughly investigating all reported post-election violence and producing a comprehensive report detailing its findings.<\/p>\n

Tanzania reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to constructive international cooperation for the promotion of peace and development. It called upon all concerned stakeholders to respect and allow for the implementation of the steps and measures being taken by the government through established national mechanisms.<\/p>\n

Concerns Over Diplomatic Engagement<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Despite the commitment to cooperation, Tanzania expressed concern regarding the contents of the international statements. This concern was particularly highlighted given a recent candid engagement held on November 28, 2025, between the Minister for Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation and members of the Diplomatic Corps accredited to the country, suggesting the statements may have overlooked recent diplomatic efforts.<\/p>\n

The government’s official response also follows significant international attention generated by a media investigation led by CNN journalist Larry Madowo. That report documented allegations of a security force crackdown and presented evidence suggesting the existence of mass graves following the October 29 polls, intensifying the scrutiny faced by the Tanzanian government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
