DAR ES SALAAM — Tanzania’s Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism has assured both citizens and international travelers that peace and stability have been fully restored following isolated post-election protests reported between Oct. 29 and Nov. 1.
In a statement issued Tuesday night, the ministry said social and economic activities across the country continue uninterrupted after authorities swiftly brought the situation under control.
Tanzania, a member of the United Nations World Tourism Organization, reaffirmed its commitment to upholding global safety standards for travelers. The ministry added that all airports, seaports, border crossings, and railway stations are operating normally, with tourism and hospitality services fully available nationwide.
The government emphasized that Tanzania remains a safe, stable, and welcoming destination for tourists and investors alike.
The protests, which erupted on polling day, Oct. 29, involved groups of young Tanzanians demanding electoral reforms and the release of detained opposition leaders. Clashes with police led to casualties and property damage in Dar es Salaam, Mbeya, Songwe, and Arusha regions.
President Samia Suluhu Hassan was declared the winner of the election on Saturday, securing 97.66 percent of the vote.
