Aisha Athuman Yunga, a resident of Sangara, Chanika, has called on Tanzanians to safeguard the country’s peace following the unrest that occurred on October 29, 2025. She said the events of that day were shocking and unlike anything she had experienced, and she prayed to God to help preserve and strengthen Tanzania’s peace.
Ms. Yunga urged citizens not to be swayed into engaging in violence or disturbances similar to those witnessed in late October.
She warned that any threat to national peace directly affects the wellbeing and lives of Tanzanians, and stressed the importance of protecting it for the country’s stability and personal welfare.
“We are used to elections coming and going, after which life continues as normal, but that day was completely different, and the consequences were unsettling. I ask that everyone continue promoting peace in the country,” Ms. Yunga said.
She also expressed gratitude to religious leaders for their continued prayers for peace in Tanzania.
She reminded citizens that peace is the foundation of social and economic development and called on Tanzanians to reject anyone who incites violence or unrest.
She urged young people, in particular, to resist following tribal divisions or falling under the influence of those who seek to stir conflict.
Ms. Yunga’s message highlights the critical role of every citizen in maintaining Tanzania’s hard-won peace and promoting unity across the nation.
