Tanzania Chaos Disrupt Border Trade

S 1 - 2 D I ID RK RT C - 0

Tanzania’s post-election unrest disrupted trade and business at the Kenya-Tanzania border. Protests and heavy police presence in Namanga, Taita/Holili, Lunga Lunga/Horo Horo, and Isebania forced businesses to close and slowed cargo movement. Journalists and traders faced restricted access, while internet outages further hampered operations. Kenyan authorities warned citizens against joining demonstrations. The unrest follows Tanzania’s contested elections, which have heightened tensions and affected cross-border commerce between the two countries.
