Tanzanian President Vows to Crush Protests Amid Calls for ICC Investigation - November 2025
President Samia Suluhu Hassan of Tanzania has vowed to crack down on post-election protests, stating her government will safeguard the nation's peace "through all means and at all cost." Her remarks came during a swearing-in ceremony in Dodoma, where she accused foreign actors of fueling unrest after the disputed October 29 general election. The International Criminal Court (ICC) faces growing pressure to investigate the deaths of hundreds of protesters, with reports indicating Kenyans are among the casualties. Tanzania's main opposition party, CHADEMA, has called for international intervention from the United Nations and the ICC. In response to the situation, Kenyan President William Ruto congratulated President Suluhu on her re-election and urged Tanzanians to uphold peace and the rule of law.
