Tanzania Pushes Ahead With Major US Trade Deals Even as Rights Abuses Trigger Global Alarm

Tanzania and the United States are racing to seal multibillion-dollar investment deals, even as Washington and international rights bodies raise fresh concerns over the country’s democratic backsliding and heavy-handed security operations.

President Samia Suluhu Hassan on Monday, December 8, 2025, hosted Acting US Ambassador Andrew Lentz at Chamwino State House for high-level talks that signalled what both sides framed as a deepening economic partnership.

The meeting reviewed progress on three flagship projects: the USD 42 billion Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) project, the Tembo Nickel development, and the USD 300 million Mahenge Graphite project.

Officials confirmed that negotiations for the LNG and Tembo Nickel agreements are in the final stretch, with signatures expected soon.

Work on the Mahenge Graphite project is ongoing, part of Tanzania’s broader push to position itself as a key supplier of essential minerals for global clean-energy transitions.

Ambassador Lentz said Washington wants a relationship built on “shared prosperity” rather than aid dependency.

President Samia underscored Tanzania’s willingness to work with partners who “respect its sovereignty” and support long-term economic transformation.

She noted that more than 400 American companies are currently operating in the country, a sign she said reflects investor confidence and Tanzania’s stability.

Beyond trade, the discussions touched on political stability, regional security cooperation, governance reforms, health programmes, and private-sector development.

Lentz praised Samia’s Vision 2050 blueprint and her 4R philosophy of Reconciliation, Resilience, Reforms and Rebuilding, saying the US was ready to back those ambitions.

Massive economic stakes

The LNG project remains Tanzania’s most significant investment prospect in decades, with analysts estimating it could inject thousands of jobs and billions in state revenue once operational.

The Tembo Nickel project, valued at KSh121.8 billion, is at the centre of US interest in diversifying global supply chains for electric-vehicle batteries and other green-tech manufacturing.

The Mahenge Graphite project also feeds into the same strategy, positioning Tanzania as a critical minerals hub.

Rights concerns intensify

But the budding partnership comes at a moment of deep unease over Tanzania’s human rights environment.

On December 4, the US State Department issued a strongly worded statement flagging deteriorating conditions for religious freedom, free expression and political participation.

The statement cited post-election violence following the disputed October 29 vote and warned that the escalating situation could endanger American citizens and destabilise the wider region.

International scrutiny has sharpened ahead of Tanzania’s Independence Day celebrations on December 9.

The UN Human Rights Office urged the government to allow peaceful assemblies and rein in security forces after reports of sweeping arrests and the use of force against protesters.

Domestic rights groups say more than 2,000 people have been detained since the election unrest, a figure authorities have neither confirmed nor denied.

The government has instead issued a nationwide advisory urging citizens to stay home for Independence Day “for their own safety,” while Prime Minister Mwigulu Nchemba said only those with essential duties should report to work.

A delicate balancing act

Analysts say Tanzania is walking a tightrope: courting record-breaking American investment while managing rising domestic dissent and growing international criticism.

For President Samia, the coming weeks will test whether her administration can reassure global partners without widening the rift at home.

The success of the US-Tanzania deals and the country’s global standing now hinge on how she navigates the dual pressures of economic ambition and human rights accountability.

From Outsider to Iron Lady: How Samia Suluhu Outmaneuvered Magufuli’s Shadows to Rule Tanzania

By Odhiambo Levin Opiyo

In 2017, Just after attending Uhuru Kenyatta’s inauguration , Mama Samia Suluhu then serving as Tanzania’s vice-president, went straight to Nairobi Hospital to visit Tanzania’s opposition leader Tundu Lissu.

Lissu who was major critic of President John Pombe Magufuli was receiving treatment at the hospital after being sprayed with bullets in Dodoma.

However what raised eyebrows among political commentators at that time, was why vice-president Samia Suluhu had dedicated her time to visit a major critic of her boss President John Pombe Magufuli. It pointed to something deep within the top echelons of the CCM.

Just like Vice-President Daniel Arap Moi’s predicaments in the Kenyatta’s government in the 70s, during Maghufuli’s presidency Suluhu was more of an outsider. Despite being the vice-president she was excluded from the president’s inner circle. In essence, she was there to be seen not to be heard.

According to sources close to the CCM at that time, she was imposed on Maghufuli as running mate by the party’s bigwigs who included former presidents such as Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete. Basically the two were two strange bedfellows in a political marriage of convenience. But she was very humble.

When Magufuli died in March 2021, a plan was hatched to sideline her as the power struggle ensued within the CCM. Despite being the vice-president, she was informed last about the president’s death after prime minister Kassim Majaliwa and Chief Secretary Bashiru Ally.

The Chief of General Staff Venance Mabeyo, Chief Secretary Bashiru Ally , Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa and the Director of Intelligence spent considerable time mulling on what to do. But because the constitution was very clear on who should take over incase of the president’s death they had no other option but to inform Suluhu who was away in Tanga.

As the government became occupied with funeral arrangements, behind the scenes a pro Magufuli faction within the CCM, was already putting pressure on her to have Bashiru as her vice president.

But she was able to resist the pressure and settled on Philip Mpango, the finance minister. To reinforce her position, as soon as she ascended to power she fired Bashiru as Chief Secretary, and demoted him to the nondescript position of nominated member of parliament.

As Tanzania’s new president Suluhu lacked a strong political base within the CCM, which was largely under the influence of the late Magufuli’s allies. But over the recent years she has turned out to be a very shrewd politician much to the surprise of those who mistook her humility for weakness.

She has been dismantling factions to build her own influence and to consolidate her position by reorganising the CCM. This has enabled her to sit firmly on the saddle of Tanzanian politics.

Although initially praised for introducing reforms that allowed opposition parties to hold rallies and demonstrations, she has never hesitated to deal ruthlessly with those who threaten her position and those who threaten Tanzania’s security and unity.

“We Were Ordered to Strip for ‘Tanzanian Treatment’” – Boniface Mwangi Recounts Torture Ordeal in Tanzania

Boniface Mwangi details brutal treatment alongside Ugandan counterpart Agather Atuhaire during solidarity mission

Kenyan human rights activist Boniface Mwangi has delivered a shocking account of systematic torture allegedly carried out by Tanzanian security forces during his four-day detention in Dar es Salaam this week.

Speaking publicly after his release on Thursday, Mwangi described being subjected to what he termed “Tanzanian treatment” alongside Ugandan activist Agather Atuhaire, who was found dumped at the Uganda-Tanzania border after their ordeal.

The two activists had traveled to Tanzania on Monday to show solidarity with opposition leader Tundu Lissu, who faces treason charges, and were planning to attend a court hearing for Ugandan opposition figure Kizza Besigye.

Mwangi’s testimony paints a disturbing picture of their detention. “We had been tortured, and we were told to strip naked and to go bathe,” he recounted. “We couldn’t walk and were told to crawl and go wash off the blood.”

The activist described being handcuffed and blindfolded throughout the ordeal, unable to see Atuhaire but hearing “her groaning in pain as they barked orders at us.”

Any attempt at communication between the detainees was reportedly met with physical violence.

“Any attempt to speak to each other during the night we were tortured was met with kicks and insults,” Mwangi stated.

Central to Mwangi’s account is his identification of a specific Tanzanian state security officer whom he holds responsible for orchestrating their treatment.

He described the individual as “overweight, of average height, light brown skin, with wavy short hair and a sagging potbelly,” wearing a black suit and white shirt during the incident.

Most significantly, Mwangi claims this officer “reports directly to President Samia Suluhu Hassan,” directly implicating Tanzania’s highest office in the alleged abuse.

The activist detailed how this security officer followed them from immigration offices to the Central Police Station, where he allegedly ordered their removal to a secret location for what was euphemistically termed “Tanzanian treatment.”

In a particularly troubling aspect of his account, Mwangi described how the security officer allegedly intimidated three lawyers from the Tanganyika Law Society who had come to assist them.

“He scared the three lawyers, and they left us at Central Police Station, where we were removed while handcuffed and blindfolded,” Mwangi said, suggesting systematic efforts to deny the activists legal representation.

Mwangi framed the incident within his broader commitment to pan-African activism, citing previous solidarity visits to imprisoned activists across the continent, including Tanzania’s Freeman Mbowe, Uganda’s Stella Nyanzi, and opposition leader Bobi Wine.

“I’m a Pan-Africanist, and I have trained and mentored activists in all four corners of our continent,” he explained, quoting Ghana’s Kwame Nkrumah: “I’m not African because I was born in Africa, but because Africa was born in me.”

In an unusually direct confrontation with Tanzania’s leadership, Mwangi declared: “Everything that happened to us in Tanzania was done in Samia Suluhu’s name, and we will ensure the world gets to know.”

He vowed that neither he nor other activists would be silenced, stating: “What Suluhu did to us will be revealed to the world. We shall not be silenced by a torturous dictator who has her foot on the necks of the Tanzanian people.”

Ugandan activist Agather Atuhaire.

While Atuhaire has been found and released at the border, concerns remain about her condition and the broader implications for activist networks across East Africa.

The incident has prompted intervention from both Kenyan and Ugandan diplomatic missions.

Martha Karua, a prominent Kenyan politician, has written to the African Union regarding the detention and alleged torture of both activists, signaling potential regional diplomatic consequences.

The incident highlights growing tensions around civil society space in East Africa and raises questions about the treatment of regional activists engaged in cross-border solidarity work. Both activists were reportedly in Tanzania for less than 24 hours before their detention.

Mwangi emphasized that such treatment should not deter continued activism: “Our arrest and detention should not stop the solidarity among African activists or deter us from showing up for each other. Dictators are united, and only our own unity can help democratize our respective countries.”

The Tanzanian government has not yet responded to the specific allegations made by Mwangi, though the incident is likely to strain regional relations and draw international scrutiny to Tanzania’s human rights record.

Tanzania Denies Kenya Access to Detained Activist Boniface Mwangi

NAIROBI, Kenya, May 21, 2025 — Kenya’s Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs has formally demanded that Tanzania facilitate consular access to detained activist Boniface Mwangi, citing violations of international law after Kenyan officials were repeatedly denied access to their citizen.

In an official diplomatic note issued Tuesday, the ministry expressed “deep concern” over Mwangi’s detention and invoked the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, demanding Tanzania comply with international legal obligations “expeditiously and without delay.”

“Despite several requests, officials of the Government of Kenya have been denied consular access and information to Mr. Mwangi,” the ministry stated in the formal communication to Tanzania’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation.

“The Ministry is also concerned about his health, overall wellbeing and the absence of information regarding his detention.”

Mwangi, a prominent human rights advocate and vocal government critic, was arrested on May 19 in Dar es Salaam while attending the treason trial of Tanzanian opposition leader Tundu Lissu.

While other activists including former Kenyan Chief Justice Willy Mutunga and Ugandan lawyer Agather Atuhaire were subsequently deported, Mwangi remains in Tanzanian custody.

The diplomatic note specifically references Article 36 of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (1963), to which both Kenya and Tanzania are signatories.

The convention guarantees consular officers the right to communicate with and visit nationals who are detained in foreign countries, and to arrange for their legal representation.

“Consular officers shall have the right to visit a national of the sending State who is in prison, custody or detention, to converse and correspond with him and to arrange for his legal representation,” the ministry quoted from the international treaty.

Kenya’s escalation to formal diplomatic channels represents a significant hardening of its position following initial attempts at quiet diplomacy.

The ministry had previously faced mounting public criticism for what many viewed as an inadequate response to Mwangi’s detention.

Earlier Thursday, Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary Korir Sing’oei had defended the government’s approach, stating on social media that “the Ministry’s obligation to a national who has been apprehended by a foreign country is limited and focused in the first instance on provision of consular assistance.”

However, the formal diplomatic protest reveals that Kenya has been unable to provide even basic consular services due to Tanzania’s refusal to grant access.

The detention has sparked widespread criticism, with former Chief Justice David Maraga describing Mwangi’s continued custody “without access to courts, legal counsel, or consular representation” as “a clear violation of international human rights law.”

Mwangi’s wife, Njeri, has been unable to reach her husband since his arrest at Dar es Salaam’s Serena Hotel. She told AFP she has been informed that Tanzanian authorities are deciding whether to charge or deport him.

The case highlights growing tensions over Tanzania’s treatment of opposition figures and foreign activists. President Samia Suluhu Hassan declared Monday that “foreign activists would not be allowed to interfere in the country’s affairs,” instructing security agencies to prevent such individuals from “crossing the line.”

In its diplomatic note, Kenya emphasized its commitment to “cordial bilateral relations” with Tanzania while demanding swift resolution of the matter “in the spirit of regional cooperation and mutual respect.”

The formal protest concludes with Kenya requesting “assurances of highest consideration” from Tanzania’s foreign ministry, diplomatic language that underscores the seriousness with which Nairobi now views the situation.

The diplomatic escalation comes as Tanzania faces increasing international scrutiny over its handling of opposition figures ahead of October 2025 elections. Boniface Mwangi has been a prominent voice in Kenyan civil society, frequently leading protests against government corruption and human rights abuses.

Tanzania Blocks Access To X After Police Handle Was Hacked with Fake Death Claims of President Suluhu

Tanzania is reeling from a wave of cyberattacks that culminated in partial internet shutdown and restrictions on the social media platform X, following the hacking of the Tanzania Police Force’s official X account.

The compromised account was used to spread false reports of President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s death, triggering widespread panic and prompting swift action from authorities.

According to live metrics from internet observatory NetBlocks, access to X was disrupted on major internet providers across Tanzania on Tuesday, May 20, 2025.

The restrictions came shortly after hackers breached the police’s X account, which boasts nearly 468,000 followers, in the early hours of the morning.

The attackers posted misleading information, including a fabricated statement in Swahili announcing President Suluhu’s death, “kwa masikitiko makubwa tunathibitisha kifo cha Rais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania…” (With great sorrow, we confirm the death of the President of the United Republic of Tanzania).

The hackers also hosted a live video session, amplifying the misinformation.

The Tanzania Police Force regained control of the account and issued a public statement confirming the breach, urging citizens to disregard the false reports.

Authorities have launched a manhunt for the perpetrators, with investigations underway to identify those responsible for what has been described as a coordinated cyberattack targeting not only the police but also other high-profile accounts, including those of Airtel Tanzania and the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party.

The timing of the cyberattacks has raised concerns, as Tanzania is currently navigating heightened political tensions.

President Suluhu is embroiled in a high-profile standoff with opposition leader Tundu Lissu, who faces treason charges following his arrest at a political rally advocating for electoral reforms ahead of the October 2025 elections.

On Monday, six Kenyan human rights activists, including prominent figures Boniface Mwangi and former Justice Minister Martha Karua, were detained or deported while attempting to observe Lissu’s court hearing, prompting accusations of foreign interference from Suluhu.

In a televised address on Monday, President Suluhu expressed concerns about regional activists attempting to “intrude and interfere” in Tanzania’s affairs, urging security forces to block “ill-mannered individuals” from destabilizing the country.

The cyberattacks and subsequent X restrictions have fueled speculation about their motives, with some netizens alleging Kenyan involvement in the hacks, though no evidence has substantiated these claims.

Tanzania has a history of restricting online content, including a 2024 ban on three major newspapers’ online editions for publishing an animation deemed critical of Suluhu.

Tanzania President Samia Suluhu Acquires State-of-the-Art Sh10.9B Gulfstream G700 Presidential Jet

Tanzania’s President Samia Suluhu Hassan has officially unveiled the country’s new presidential jet, a Gulfstream G700, marking a significant upgrade to the nation’s VIP fleet.

The new aircraft, which replaces the aging Gulfstream G550 purchased 23 years ago, was used for the first time yesterday as President Suluhu flew from Dar es Salaam to Dodoma.

The acquisition of the Gulfstream G700 comes after Tanzania’s Parliament directed the government last year to modernize its VIP fleet, citing the need for more efficient and reliable aircraft for presidential and high-level government travel.

Cost and Features of the Gulfstream G700

The Gulfstream G700 is one of the most advanced business jets in the world, with a price tag of approximately $78 million (approx 10.9 billion Kenyan shillings).

The jet is powered by cutting-edge Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines, offering a remarkable range of up to 7,500 nautical miles (13,890 kilometers). This allows non-stop flights to virtually any global destination, reducing travel time and minimizing jet lag for passengers.

The G700 is equipped with state-of-the-art amenities, including a spacious cabin that can accommodate up to 19 passengers, advanced noise reduction technology, and customizable interiors.

It also features the latest in-flight entertainment systems, high-speed internet connectivity, and a low cabin altitude, ensuring maximum comfort for long-haul flights.

Comparison with Regional Leaders’ Jets

The acquisition places Tanzania among the few African nations with a modern presidential jet. Here’s how the G700 compares to aircraft used by other regional leaders:

– Kenya: President William Ruto uses a Gulfstream G550, a slightly older model with a range of 6,750 nautical miles. The G550, purchased in 2014, cost approximately $53 million (7.4 billion Kenyan shillings).

– Uganda: President Yoweri Museveni’s fleet includes a Gulfstream G550 and a Bombardier Global Express, both of which are less advanced than the G700.

– South Africa: The South African government owns a Boeing Business Jet (BBJ), a modified version of the Boeing 737, which is larger but less efficient for shorter trips compared to the G700.

Globally, the Gulfstream G700 is favored by prominent figures such as Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who own similar models for their private use.

Reducing Reliance on Commercial Flights

Aviation experts have praised the purchase, noting that the G700 will reduce Tanzania’s reliance on Air Tanzania planes for presidential trips. This move is expected to enhance the efficiency and security of presidential travel while freeing up commercial aircraft for routine operations.

Public Reaction

While the acquisition has been hailed as a step toward modernizing Tanzania’s aviation capabilities, it has also sparked debate over the cost. Critics argue that the funds could have been allocated to pressing social and economic needs, such as healthcare and education. However, supporters contend that the investment is justified, given the need for reliable and secure transportation for the head of state.

President Suluhu’s administration has emphasized that the new jet will also be used for diplomatic missions, boosting Tanzania’s presence on the global stage.

As Tanzania continues to position itself as a key player in East Africa, the Gulfstream G700 symbolizes the nation’s commitment to progress and modernization.

How Ms. Chen Mingjian Advances PRC’s Strategic Agenda in Tanzania
China’s influence in Tanzania is not only deep but deliberate. H.E. Ms. Chen Mingjian, the Chinese Ambassador to Tanzania, is central to this growing presence.

As she marks three years in office this October, it’s evident that she is a key player in China’s strategic ambitions in East Africa.

Her role, driven by her unique background, extends well beyond typical diplomatic duties. President Xi Jinping seems to be using Ms. Chen’s skills to tighten China’s grip on Tanzania.

Ms. Chen Mingjian has played a central role in advancing Chinese projects under the Belt and Road Initiative, increasing China’s footprint in Tanzania, and reinforcing the strategic relationship between the two countries. [PHOTO/Courtesy]

Who is Ms. Chen Mingjian?

Before taking her position as Ambassador, Ms. Chen Mingjian served as the Deputy Director-General of External Security in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of China.

This past role gave her deep insights into global security affairs, and she is putting that knowledge to use in Tanzania.

Her experience in handling external security matters makes her the ideal candidate for China’s broad ambitions, particularly when it comes to influencing strategic sectors.

Since assuming her post in Tanzania, Ms. Chen has focused on expanding China’s influence in the country.

Her background and expertise make her more than just a diplomat—she’s a strategic agent tasked with executing Beijing’s agenda.

Economic Investments: Building Influence

China is already Tanzania’s largest investor. By October 2022, Chinese investments in Tanzania amounted to $9.8 billion. China is also the country’s largest trading partner, and trade between the two nations reached $3.9 billion in 2019.

Under Ms. Chen’s guidance, China has successfully expanded its economic footprint. Projects under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) have been central to this push.

Ms. Chen has overseen infrastructure projects, including major investments in ports, railways, and roads. The aim? To make Tanzania a regional hub and create a stronger link between Tanzania and China’s trade routes.

Infrastructure Projects: TAZARA and Beyond

One of the key achievements during Ms. Chen’s tenure is the reactivation of the Tanzania-Zambia Railway (TAZARA).

This railway, built with Chinese support decades ago, symbolizes China’s long-standing ties with Tanzania. By revamping this line, China aims to enhance regional connectivity, making it easier for East African nations to move goods.

China’s investments also extend to sea and rail infrastructure. This focus on transportation means that Tanzania could become an important part of the East African logistics network.

Through these projects, Ms. Chen is helping President Xi Jinping achieve his goal of making Tanzania a demonstration zone for China’s high-quality cooperation with Africa.

Security Influence: Ms. Chen’s Role

Ms. Chen’s influence in Tanzania is not limited to the economy. Her background in security has allowed her to expand China’s role in Tanzanian security affairs.

She has fostered deeper cooperation between Tanzanian security forces and Chinese military advisors. This collaboration includes training programs, intelligence exchanges, and donations of security equipment.

These efforts suggest a strategic objective beyond simple partnership. It’s possible that President Xi Jinping positioned Ms. Chen in Tanzania to prepare the groundwork for a Chinese military presence in the region.

Tanzania, with its strategic location along the Indian Ocean, could become an ideal location for a Chinese naval base. Such a move would significantly boost China’s military reach in Africa.

While no official announcements have been made about a base, Ms. Chen’s activities have clearly strengthened China’s influence over Tanzania’s military capabilities. This has raised questions and concerns among Tanzanians and their neighbors.

Achievements and Challenges Under Ms. Chen’s Tenure

Ms. Chen Mingjian’s three-year tenure has been a mix of notable achievements and pressing challenges.

Achievements:
1. Increased Investments: China’s investments in Tanzania have grown significantly under Ms. Chen. Chinese companies now play a central role in Tanzania’s economic landscape, creating jobs and boosting development.
2. Infrastructure Development: Ms. Chen has advanced major projects under the BRI, including the expansion of railways, ports, and road networks. These projects are designed to make Tanzania an important logistics center in East Africa.
3. Strengthened Diplomatic Relations: Ms. Chen has managed to keep diplomatic ties strong, ensuring that China and Tanzania continue to share a vision for mutual growth. This includes fostering cultural exchanges and education programs to solidify public sentiment.
Challenges:
1. Debt Dependency: With the large inflow of Chinese investments comes the risk of debt dependency. Tanzanians are concerned that their country might fall into a “debt trap,” making them reliant on China. This dependency could allow China to gain undue influence over Tanzania’s policies.
2. Sovereignty Concerns: China’s growing presence in both economic and security sectors has led to fears over Tanzania’s sovereignty. Tanzanians worry that their country could lose its ability to make independent decisions, especially with China playing such an outsized role in key areas.
3. Potential Military Presence: The deepening of security ties has raised questions about China’s long-term goals. Is China aiming to establish a military base in Tanzania? While there’s no official confirmation, the possibility remains a point of concern for the region.
Regional Impact and Concerns

The influence Ms. Chen wields in Tanzania affects not only the country but also the entire East African region.

China’s strategic projects in Tanzania are part of a broader agenda to establish a strong presence along the Indian Ocean.

Neighboring countries must now deal with the possibility of a permanent Chinese military base next door.

If China does establish a base, it could change the balance of power in East Africa. This would also invite interest from other foreign powers, leading to potential regional tensions.

For the continent as a whole, Ms. Chen’s activities in Tanzania point to a deeper question—should African nations be worried about increased foreign military influence?

As China builds up its economic ties, it also strengthens its military influence. This dual focus could make it difficult for countries like Tanzania to maintain their independence.

Why President Xi Is Relying On Ms. Chen as the Key Player

It is evident that President Xi Jinping is using Ms. Chen Mingjian strategically to advance China’s interests in Tanzania.

Her background in security allows her to do more than just foster economic relations. She is laying the groundwork for potential military partnerships, positioning China as a dominant player in East Africa.

Her achievements in expanding economic ties are impressive, but they also serve a broader purpose—creating a foundation for deeper influence.

Infrastructure projects, security training, and increased Chinese investments are all tools for China to embed itself in Tanzania’s growth.

Ms. Chen’s work aligns perfectly with Xi Jinping’s vision for China-Africa relations. China wants to be seen not just as an investor, but as a partner in Africa’s long-term development.

But this partnership comes at a price. It could mean that Tanzania and its neighbors end up having less say over their own futures.
