Young people across Tanzania have been urged to take greater responsibility in protecting the nation’s peace and stability by rejecting groups and activities that violate the law or fuel unrest.
The appeal follows reports of disturbances in several towns during and after the October 29, 2025 General Election incidents that prompted President Samia Suluhu Hassan to establish a special commission to investigate the root causes of the violence, which left many affected.
Speaking to the press, Mr. Hamis Jumanne, a resident of Kichangani in Temeke, called on the youth to stand firm against any individuals or groups seeking to disrupt the country’s harmony.
He encouraged young people to channel their energy into economic development and productive ventures instead of being drawn into actions that compromise the nation’s wellbeing.
Jumanne noted that while challenges and grievances do exist, they should be handled in a manner that respects the law and protects national values.
He said meaningful engagement between citizens and leaders is essential in resolving concerns without undermining the peace that Tanzanians have long enjoyed.
He added that Tanzania’s stability is a collective asset, and the youth who form the majority of the population must take a proactive role in preserving the country’s unity, ensuring that future generations inherit a peaceful and secure nation.
