Tanzania bans protests, citing illegal activities

Tanzania bans protests, citing illegal activities

Tanzania's police have said that protests planned for December 9 will be illegal.

They claim that the people organizing the protests want to cause trouble by taking things that aren't theirs, stopping hospitals from working, and staying in the streets for a long time to stop the country from doing its normal activities.

The United Nations has asked Tanzania to protect people's right to protest peacefully.

The President of Tanzania, Samia Suluhu Hassan, has said she will look into the problems that happened during the last protests.

The United States is also worried about what's happening in Tanzania and is looking at their relationship with the country.
