The US just put Tanzania on notice by launching a full relationship review after their recent elections turned messy, with civilians getting attacked before and after voting went down. American officials are concerned about religious freedom getting crushed, free speech taking hits, barriers blocking US business ventures, and the government potentially becoming an unreliable partner despite decades of working together on regional security and economic stuff.
The State Department warned Americans that Tanzania might see major disruptions from planned protests, with possible internet shutdowns, flight cancellations, ferry service getting axed to Zanzibar, roadblocks popping up everywhere, and curfews getting slapped down. Embassy staff told citizens to stay alert because demonstration activity could kick off earlier than the scheduled protest date.
