Today is Tanzania's Independence Day
May the families touched by Tanzania’s election day massacre find their strength, healing, and justice.
May the youth who protest today be guided by courage, wisdom, and peace.
May their voices bring change, their rights be protected, and the government refrain from threats.
And if leaders attack or abuse human rights, may they be removed from power.
May truth and dignity light the path forward.
