NewsPoliticsWorldDodoma- PRESIDENT Samia Suluhu Hassan is set to be sworn in this Monday morning at a military ground in Dodoma, in a ceremony that will take place under tight security and without public attendance.The swearing in ceremony is being held amid growing unrest across the country.Authorities confirmed that the inauguration, which would ordinarily draw large public gatherings, will instead be a closed-door event limited to security officials, diplomats, and senior government figures.The decision comes as sporadic protests and demonstrations continue to rock parts of Dar es Salaam, Arusha, and Mwanza following widespread allegations of political repression and rising economic hardship.Security has been visibly heightened in major cities, with heavily armed soldiers and police officers deployed at key intersections and public buildings.Several opposition leaders have reportedly been detained, while internet restrictions and curfews have been introduced in what observers describe as an effort to “contain the situation.”Analysts say the decision to hold a restricted swearing-in ceremony cements the growing unease within government ranks over the deteriorating political climate.
“This is one of the most tense inaugurations in Tanzania’s recent history.“The optics of a president being sworn in without her people present speaks volumes about the current crisis,” said Smangaliso Bhebhe a local political analyst.Despite the tensions, government spokespersons have urged calm, insisting that the situation remains “under control” and that the president’s inauguration will proceed peacefully.The developments mark a critical moment for President Samia Suluhu Hassan who faces the dual challenge of restoring public confidence while navigating deep political divisions and economic discontent.Leave a ReplyCancel reply
