Tanzania’s political crisis has taken a dramatic turn as President Samia Suluhu Hassan was reportedly seen leaving the country in a helicopter amid escalating protests following her controversial 97% election victory.
According to local reports, thousands of protesters have taken to the streets in several regions, rejecting the election results and accusing the electoral commission of overseeing a fraudulent process that excluded key opposition candidates.
The unrest has reportedly spread to major transport hubs, with demonstrators blocking access to the airport, preventing ministers and top government officials from traveling. Sources claim the president resorted to using a helicopter to avoid the crowds and potential confrontation.
