International Warnings and Aid Cuts Target Tanzania Over Post-Election Unrest - December 2025

The US and Israeli governments have issued travel advisories for Tanzania due to planned anti-government protests, with a significant event expected on December 9, 2025. The warnings follow post-election unrest after the October 29, 2025 general elections. Ghana has also raised concerns over the escalating violence, though Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan has blamed foreign interference for the situation. In a related development, Sweden announced plans to gradually discontinue development aid to Tanzania, redirecting funds to other priorities. A US-based Tanzanian activist, Mange Kimambi, also alleged that the Tanzanian government influenced the deactivation of her social media accounts to silence reporting on alleged human rights abuses ahead of the protests.
