Samia set for major speech, unity message takes spotlight

President Samia Suluhu Hassan is meeting with Dar es Salaam elders at the Julius Nyerere International Conference Center, and she's set to give a speech that's basically about keeping the country locked in on peace and unity while pumping up its reputation at home and abroad. Regional Commissioner Albert Chalamila said the whole thing is meant to strengthen diplomatic ties and make sure Tanzania stays hot for foreign investors.

Chalamila called it a forum that brings back hope and patches things up wherever people got hurt. The president is bringing government officials and other big names along for the event.
