Dear reader,

Welcome to the latest issue of Tanzanian Affairs. Events of the past few months in Tanzania mean that this is a somewhat mournful edition. The October 2025 election and its aftermath have deeply affected all of us who love Tanzania. The shadow it casts will remain heavy for some time.

Nevertheless, I believe that what we do in TA is even more important than ever at such a time. Prosperity thrives on peace and stability; peace and stability on justice and truth. Our contribution may be small, but by continuing in our commitment to honest reporting of the facts, we are doing our bit to help Tanzania find the right path.

I hope the next issue will have more positive news. And if you have any ideas, stories, or resources you’d like to see featured in future issues, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Warm regards, Ben Taylor (Editor)
