“Ewe Mola, ihifadhi nchi yetu Tanzania. Ijalie amani, umoja na upendo,” Zuchu wrote.
Loosely translated as: “Oh Lord, protect our country, Tanzania. Grant it peace, unity, and love.”
This comes a day after President Samia Suluhu Hassan appealed to Tanzanians taking part in the ongoing post-election protests to embrace dialogue with the government rather than resort to violence and destruction, saying peace remains the nation’s most valuable asset.
Addressing the country on Monday, November 3, 2025, after days of unrest that left several towns tense, President Samia said the government was closely monitoring the situation and urged citizens to uphold unity and calm as security agencies work to restore order.
She reminded those involved in inciting violence that true strength is not measured through confrontation but through conversation and cooperation.
“We must choose what benefits us all, because the safety of our entire nation is protected by each one of us, with all our might and at any cost,” the president said during her inauguration ceremony.
The Head of State said she was speaking both as a leader and as a mother to the nation, asking Tanzanians to prioritise dialogue and peace over chaos.
She warned those fuelling disorder that the consequences of unrest only lead to pain, loss, and division. Samia said that while violence ends in the testing of power and might, dialogue breeds understanding, reconciliation, and national unity.
“I sincerely urge my fellow citizens to uphold peace and tranquillity. I want to use this opportunity, as a mother, to issue a warning to all those who have incited violence and unrest. Let them understand that chaos and the absence of peace only end in the testing of strength and defence, but dialogue brings about unity and understanding,” she added.
