The chilling spate of disappearances haunting Tanzania's election
A prominent regime insider-turned-critic of Tanzania’s President Samia Suluhu Hassan disappeared from his Dar es Salaam home this month, leaving only a pool of blood on the doorstep.
The country’s main opposition leader, Tundu Lissu, has been jailed and is facing treason charges that carry the death penalty.
Lissu’s Chadema party, the main opposition, has in effect been barred.
