As schoolchildren, we used to sing the patriotic song “TANZANIA NAKUPENDA” every Tuesday; back then, we saw it as a duty. A video has surfaced showing protesters kneeling in front of armed police, singing “Tanzania Nakupenda” in hopes it will deter them.

A generation of Tanzanians who used to sing that song loudly has been betrayed by a leader who even denies their right to be Tanzanians, calling them “foreigners”. That child in me weeps

We join in mourning with all Tanzanian families and communities who have lost loved ones during this difficult period.

They’ve begun framing foreign agencies as the source of our turmoil, pointing to places like Libya as cautionary tales. How do they see us? Do they think we’re children who can’t see through this?

EXCLUSIVE: Our CNN investigation found that Tanzanian police killed protesters, and signs of mass graves used to hide their brutality. We spoke to more than 100 people, used forensic analysis of videos, and satellite imagery. The govt didn't respond to our detailed questions

We analyzed 14 original videos just to recreate this street scene in Arusha

Tanzanians risked their lives to speak to CNN for our investigation despite police warning against sharing that content. We only reported what we carefully verified and nobody has pointed out a single lie. Thanks to 🇿🇦 SABC News' Oliver Dickson for amplifying our work

But what is a revolution if not carrying out the natural will of man to be free from all oppression? We weren't born in chains; bondage is unnatural to us, it's for animals. Man was made free, to live, and drink.

There’s no salvation without repentance

There won’t be a final act of love, for mine was meant to burn until eternity.

May all my brothers find their Napoli.

We used to be a serious country

my mom was really serving us home cooked meals every single day…… younger me didn’t realize how much work and how much of a blessing that is

my ultimate delusion is that i will win. not maybe, not someday, not if things go right. i will win, it’s a certainty. and there’s nothing in this world strong enough to convince me otherwise.

My "Roman Empire is the realization that my life is a lottery win. Somewhere in Sudan, Pålestine, iran, Afghanistan, Iraq or Congo, there is a boy smarter than me. He is more disciplined, more resilient, and holds more potential in his single finger than I do in my entire career.

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

They invented Heaven so they could get away with giving you nothing in life.

Set a personal record this morning. Most days lived in a row.
