Tanzanian activist Mange Kimambi has leveled serious allegations against President Samia Suluhu, claiming that the leader’s October election victory came at a deadly cost.
Speaking through a social media post, Kimambi accused the president of orchestrating the deaths of over 10,000 Tanzanians in the aftermath of demonstrations protesting the vote.
“The president shot and killed over 10,000 of her fellow citizens to retain power,” Kimambi wrote, condemning what she describes as an unprecedented crackdown on dissent.
She questioned the legitimacy of the landslide victory, pointing out that even 60 days after claiming 98% of the vote, President Samia has remained largely hidden from public view, appearing only in heavily controlled environments.
Kimambi criticized the government’s approach to diplomacy, noting that ministers are often sent abroad to represent the president instead of her attending personally.
“She fears to meet the same fate she imposed on Tanzanian youth,” Kimambi said.
The activist warned that justice will eventually prevail, urging those who remained silent during the post-election violence to face accountability when the reckoning comes.
“Justice is coming, and when it does, everyone who chose to remain silent during our suffering should remain silent then as well. Hatutaki unafki,” she wrote, appealing to the nation to reject hypocrisy.
Her statements come amid growing tension in Tanzania, where questions about election transparency, political repression, and human rights violations continue to dominate public debate.
