President Samia Suluhu Hassan warned that Tanzania’s disputed October 29 elections and ensuing violence could undermine access to international funding and harm the country’s global credibility. She called on her new 27-member cabinet, which includes her daughter and son-in-law, to focus on mobilizing domestic resources for development projects. Hundreds were arrested and charged with treason after protests, while Malawi’s former president, Lazarus Chakwera, will lead Commonwealth-backed reconciliation efforts between the government and opposition.
