Tanzania arrests 130 people as government cracks down on dissent

In a bid to suppress dissent, Tanzanian authorities have detained 130 individuals accused of inciting criminal acts, following a government ban on all political rallies. This crackdown highlights the government's efforts to maintain control amid growing opposition and public dissatisfaction. With political freedoms increasingly restricted, this move raises concerns about civil liberties and the potential for escalating tensions in the country. It underscores a broader trend in Tanzania where dissent is being met with stringent measures.
