The situation has become tense after Captain Tesha, a cadet from the Military Aviation School and an officer in the Tanzania People's Army (TPA), came out in public and made strong statements targeting the role of the military in politics and the future of the nation.
Speaking emphatically, Captain Tesha said he had decided to write an official letter to the Chief of Defence Staff (CDF) and his superiors, expressing his dissatisfaction with the course of events in the country. In the letter, he stressed that he advised the military to take over the country to put things right, especially focusing on the electoral area.
“I will not care and I will not be afraid of anything or anyone even though I am aware of the military's actions regarding this matter,” he said assertively.
Captain Tesha also expressed his dissatisfaction with the way the military is being used for political interests, stressing that the decision to speak out was not an easy one but he has sacrificed himself for the liberation of the nation.
“Tanzanians have faith in their military. We have remained strong, although there are politicians trying to use it for personal gain,” he added.
The opposition in Tanzania has Comfirmed that nearly 700 people have been killed in post-election violence sweeping across parts of the country.
According to CHADEMA spokesperson John Kitoka, at least 350 deaths have been reported in Dar es Salaam and 200 in Mwanza since the unrest began following the disputed election results.
Authorities have yet to release official figures, but tension remains high as security forces and opposition supporters continue to clash in major cities.
Let's all pray for Tanzania.
