Tanzanian Police ban opposition's memorial protest
Tanzania’s main opposition Chadema party says it will hold a peaceful protest Monday as a memorial to its leaders who it says have disappeared or been killed under suspicious circumstances. But the police have banned any demonstration in the name of protecting lives and property. Mohamed Ali Kibao, a senior member of Chadema, was abducted on September 6 in broad daylight. His body was found in a Dar es Salaam neighborhood. President Samia Suluhu Hassan has ordered a swift and thorough investigation. Some foreign diplomatic missions in Tanzania, including the United States, have called for an independent investigation. Tundu Lissu, former Chadema presidential candidate, tells VOA’s James Butty, Chadema wants a foreign-led investigation because it does trust the government
