The Movement to Remove President Samia Suluhu | Tanzania in Protest
Africa’s Most Feared Female President: Samia Suluhu of Tanzania

People used to believe Tanzania was different, peaceful, steady, and safe. But that peace doesn’t feel real anymore. The nation now faces fear, censorship, and rebellion.

This documentary uncovers how President Samia Suluhu Hassan, Tanzania’s first female leader, went from a symbol of hope to a figure accused of silencing opposition and crushing dissent.

Featuring explosive footage, insider testimony, and the viral message of Captain John Tesha, the “Ibrahim Traoré wa Tanzania”, this video reveals the growing resistance movement calling for change as protests spread across social media and the streets.

🔥 Topics covered:
The rise of Samia Suluhu Hassan
Disappearances and media crackdowns
Opposition leader Tundu Lissu’s imprisonment
The military’s growing frustration
Youth resistance and the call for democracy

I was a bit worried this video might raise some red flags, with people thinking it’s about women bringing down other women, as I’ve seen in comments on other social media posts.

But honestly, I’ve always wanted to see more women leading Africa. We need more women who truly care about politics. Yet, watching what’s happening in Tanzania today, it’s clear that power changes everyone, male or female and sometimes the system only makes it worse.

Today is Tanzania’s election day 😊 Any Tanzanians here? ☝️ How’s it going?

You’re one of the few channels covering this issue. As Africans we’re all grateful

I’m Tanzanian, and every word you said in this video is the truth. We, the youth of Tanzania, are tired of living under dictatorship — we just want our country back. Thank you for speaking up and showing the world what’s really happening.

I cannot believe we were under the impression that Tanzania is so stable, peaceful and everything OK, when it obviously was not.

This piece was very well done.👏🏾

As a Ugandan, I can confirm that Suhulu has simply been repeating what Museveni has done in Uganda for decades now.

It's like she was handed a script, which she read and implemented word for word, only more openly, and in a country with more enlightened and perhaps more brave citizens than Museveni's Uganda.

She WAS NEVER ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE. She came in charge after the death of Pr Magufulli

One of the good things that happened in our country was breaking from under the KANU leadership, same thing needs to happen in Tanzania and in many African countries. Great video. Support from 🇰🇪.

I am from the Caribbean and was aware of Magafuli's presidency' I believe then and now that Magafuli was eliminated and by default, the person taking over would not be a disciple of Magafuli. ...and the story continues.
