Tanzania’s Catholic Bishops and the Council of Imams urged authorities to ensure truth and accountability after the 2025 election, citing widespread violence that killed hundreds and left many detained or missing. The Bishops criticized excessive force, called for the release of detainees, and pressed for an independent, multi-stakeholder investigation into the unrest. Both groups said fair elections, transparent governance, and credible avenues for public grievances are necessary for national healing and stability.
