Zambia's leader called on Tanzanians to safeguard their nation's stability during remarks delivered after the swearing-in ceremony for President Samia Suluhu Hassan and Vice President Emmanuel Nchimbi in Dodoma on Monday. Hakainde Hichilema described tranquility as an invaluable asset that neighboring states are struggling to attain and emphasized that maintaining order benefits the entire region.
Hichilema acknowledged the hardships facing Tanzanians while highlighting available pathways for progress. He urged residents to embrace available prospects and trust in divine timing. The Zambian president emphasized dialogue as essential for settling disputes and warned that instability would affect surrounding nations like Zambia. He referenced both countries' historical partnership in liberation movements and current joint peacekeeping missions in Mozambique's Cabo Delgado province and eastern Congo.
Drawing from his 23 years as an opposition figure who faced repeated electoral losses, Hichilema said he consistently discouraged supporters from resorting to street protests despite their frustrations. He stressed that advocating for disorder would only cause unnecessary casualties. The president called for investments in youth education and job creation while congratulating Hassan and wishing her success.
