Tanzania's cops dropped a warning about protest calls blowing up across social media for a demonstration set to go down next week. Force spokesperson David Misime said online chatter includes sketchy instructions like getting armed people to front the marches, torching cell towers, blocking port access routes, and ransacking hospitals. Police flagged threats targeting government workers, plus calls for looting stores under hunger excuses.
Authorities claim the unlimited demo plan violates citizens' economic rights by forcing business shutdowns, and they call it a major security threat. Cops told families to shut down anyone pushing violence since the country had already caught damage from the late October unrest.
The force urged people to keep prepping for year-end holidays while staying safe and following traffic laws instead of joining potentially violent gatherings.
