In our briefing today: CHADEMA launches ‘tone tone’ campaign to boost citizen funding for local politics;
Govt’s Chief Spokesperson Gerson Msigwa defends Samia’s record on democracy, economy;
European Investment Bank backs Africa Finance Corporation $750 million climate resilient infrastructure fund;
ACT-Wazalendo calls on Z’bar’s govt to terminate contract with investor at Malindi’s Port over ‘dismal failures’;
Tanzania’s prosecutors end almost two month-incarceration of govt critic Willibrod Slaa as they drop ‘false information’ charges against him

In a wide-ranging, exclusive interview with The Chanzo, Mr Msigwa said Tanzanians have a “thousand reasons” to vote for President Samia in the general elections later this year.

The structure of this process, compared to the rapidly changing situation on the ground, has placed the African-led initiative in a catch-up position.

ACT-Wazalendo cited disappointment with President Samia Suluhu’s “4R” reform initiative, which they had initially supported but now considered ineffective.

The Cutlass Express maritime exercises began on February 10, 2025, and included participants from Comoros, Djibouti, France, Georgia, Kenya, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Madagascar, Seychelles, Somalia, Tanzania, Tunisia, Morocco, and the United States.

As much as she may opt to engage in every kind of political delusion, Samia, in great substance, is very much kith and kin to her predecessor.

In our briefing today: Battleground social media: How M23 Is using social media to muster legitimacy as DR Congo struggles to push its narratives;
UK Minister for Africa Lord Collins in Dar: Discussed DRC Crisis, visited Dar port;
40 Days of Dr. Slaa in detention: Prosecution fails to present him in court;
UK’s manufacturing Africa project to boost Tanzania’s mineral value addition

While M23 continues to skillfully use social media as a propaganda tool, DR Congo’s repeated military setbacks and lack of an effective counter-narrative put it in a poor light, potentially diminishing its influence even further.

Lissu’s speech can be viewed as a political blueprint for CHADEMA’s reforms agenda, setting the stage for a broader national conversation.
