Tanzania's President Outlines Main Issues for Local Commission Investigating Election Unrest

On November 20, 2025, President Samia Suluhu Hassan officially launched the Commission of Inquiry she had formed to investigate the events of October 29, 2025, including youth-led protests and security forces’ crackdown, that left hundreds dead. The commission, announced on November 18, 2025, by Chief Secretary Dr Moses Kusiluka, is chaired by retired Chief Justice Mohamed Chande Othman. Other members are Justice (Rtd) Mohamed Chande Othman (Chairperson): A heavyweight in international law, Othman served as Tanzania’s Chief Justice from 2010 to 2017. He is internationally respected, having led the UN inquiry into the death of former UN Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjöld. His appointment is likely calculated to lend international credibility to the domestic process. Prof Ibrahim Hamis Juma: The immediate former Chief Justice who succeeded Othman. His inclusion means the commission contains two consecutive former heads of the judiciary. IGP (Rtd) Said Ally Mwema: Served as Inspector General of Police from 2006 to 2013. While credited with introducing community policing, his presence is contentious for the opposition, who view the police force as a central actor in the recent violence. Dr Stergomena Lawrence Tax: A powerful figure in Tanzanian politics, she has served as Minister of Defence and Minister of Foreign Affairs under President Samia. She was also the first woman to serve as Executive Secretary of the Southern African Development Community (SADC). Ambassador Ombeni Sefue: A seasoned diplomat who served as Chief Secretary (Head of Civil Service) under former President John Magufuli. Ambassadors Radhia Msuya, Lt. Gen. Paul Meela, and David Kapya: Rounding out the team are three career diplomats, with Meela having a military background, further cementing the “security-establishment” character of the team Unaweza kutufuatilia kupitia; TWITTER:   / thechanzo   INSTAGRAM:   / thechanzo   FACEBOOK:   / thechanzo   TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@thechanzo?is_...
