Suluhi blasts foreign critics over alleged post-election interference

Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan has criticized foreign nations for what she described as interference in Tanzania’s internal affairs, accusing them of backing opposition claims that the October elections were flawed. Addressing the nation, President Samia pushed back against mounting pressure from several countries, including the United States, that are calling for an independent investigation into alleged human rights violations during the just-concluded polls. She said such demands were shameful, arguing that external actors had no right to dictate how Tanzania should handle its affairs.
