Tanzania’s President Samia Suluhu Hassan has issued a stern warning to Kenyan activists, cautioning them against “meddling” in her country’s internal affairs. This follows the deportation of prominent Kenyan lawyers and rights campaigners who attempted to attend the treason trial of Tanzanian opposition leader Tundu Lissu. President Samia accused the activists of bringing chaos from Kenya and emphasized her commitment to maintaining national stability. Lissu, leader of the Chadema party, was arrested in April after calling for electoral reforms and now faces charges that could lead to the death penalty. His court appearance was marked by heavy security and defiance, which galvanized his supporters. Meanwhile, human rights groups have expressed concern over increasing political repression ahead of Tanzania’s upcoming elections.
