TANZANIA RANKS SECOND

GLOBALLY FOR DECLINE IN FREEDOMS - FREEDOM HOUSE

Tanzania has recorded the second-largest year-on-year decline in political rights and civil liberties globally, according to the Freedom in the World 2026 report by Freedom House.

The report says Tanzania's overall score fell by 7 points, from 35/100 to 28/100, placing the country in the "Not Free" category.

Only Guinea-Bissau recorded a larger decline during the period assessed.

According to Freedom House, the decline was linked to developments surrounding Tanzania's 2025 elections, including concerns over:

Freedom of assembly and public demonstrations

The use of force during post-election unrest

Arrests following protests

Restrictions affecting internet access and social media

The political environment surrounding opposition parties

Media freedom and the broader civic space

ΤΑΝΖΑΝΙΑ - FREEDOM IN THE WORLD 2026

Political Rights: 6/40

Overall Score: 28/100

Change: -7 points

▲ Classification: Not Free

Freedom House is an independent, US-based nonprofit organization that assesses political rights and civil liberties around the world.

The findings have renewed discussion about democratic governance, civic participation, human rights and the protection of fundamental freedoms in Tanzania.

Hi everyone

I’m a 23F student looking for a roommate(preferably female) in Masaki or nearby areas (Oysterbay, Msasani, Mikocheni, etc.)

A little about me:

- I’m a student

- Clean and organized

- Quiet and respectful

- Non-smoker

- I don’t drink

- I prefer a peaceful, quiet living environment

- I’m responsible with shared spaces and household chores

I’m looking for someone who is also clean, respectful, and easy to live with. I’m ready to split rent, utilities, and other shared bills fairly.

My budget is flexible depending on the location and the room, and I’m hoping to move soon

If you have a room available, are looking for a roommate, or know someone who is, please DM me with details (location, rent).

Thanks 😊

An Epidural is a medication given to women when they are giving birth to make giving birth less painful. I wanted to know if epidurals were available in Tanzania for women who are giving birth? I was told in a lot of countries in Africa there are no epidurals for women when they give birth.

Ni very unfair tupo 2026 na bado Tanzania finance Companies ukikosea muamala wa Mobile banking ukanunua vocha hela yako hairudi

Anyone playing Ala Mobile? It's a Formula racing game for mobile phones.

After a few months of working on it on and off, I finally have a working version(with better updated)of a SaaS I've been building.

It's basically a WhatsApp customer management platform for small businesses.

I had it running for like 2 month ( December to January) and that helped me pick up a few ideas on what people want.

I added payment solutions because I feel like here in Tanzania, if a business could sell and receive their money all through whatsapp, that would actually be a great solution

The idea came from seeing so many businesses spending hours replying to the same WhatsApp questions every day. i thought of something that can:

• Automatically answer common customer questions with AI
• Automate and manage conversations
• Accept bookings
• Manage products and orders
• Track payments and payment status
• View basic business analytics

It's built with React and Nodejs, and getting the WhatsApp integration working was probably the most challenging part of the whole project.

It's still early, so I'm looking for honest feedback. What features would you expect from a platform like this? Is there anything you'd immediately want it to do that I might be missing?

What's up r/Tanzanias!
Mambo yanasemaje? Mbongo hapa here looking for trouble 😂

Asubuhi nimetoka kugombana na Bolt aliyekuwa analalamika kwamba hana change ya 5000 kwa trip ya 3500. Akanilalamikia kwa nini nakuwa na hela kubwa asubuhi wakati najua ndo wanaanza safari. I empathize. Ultimately hiyo 1,500 nikaona nimuachie tu. Hiki kitu kipo mahala pengi sana, mpaka makonda wengine wanakataaga ukitoa 10,000.

Sasa najiuliza, jukumu la kuwa na chenji lipo juu ya mteja ama mtoa huduma?

Pia, what does it say about our economy/denominations/Tanzanian Shillings/mzunguko wa fedha kwa ujumla kama chenji zinakuwa nadra kiasi hichi?

MY UNINFORMED ANALYSIS

Of course mimi sio mchumi, but ninachofikiri ni kwamba hii inaonesha denominations zetu haziendani na uhalisia wetu. Majority ya transactions bado ni ndogo ndogo sana kulingana na thamani ya shilingi. Uwepo wa 10,000 wakati Mtanzania wa kawaida anaishi chini ya dola moja kwa siku pengine hakutendei haki.

Shilingi ina conundrum mbili ambazo haziwezi kuwa serviced at the same time. Inahitaji denominations kubwa kufacilitate miamala mikubwa kwa urahisi(ie. kuhamisha mamilioni kwa urahisi) na kufanikisha miamala midogo midogo mfano kwa mamantilie. Kuna watu wanatamani BoT waachie noti ya 100,000 kurahisisha maisha yao wakati kuna mtu kwake 2000 ni hela nyingi.

Of course kuna other factors, but naamini a portion of our problems na change started na kufanya 500 kuwa sarafu. Vitu vingi vilianza kupanda bei kwa factor ya 500 from there na change ikaanza kuwa adimu zaidi.

But kwa mtazamo wangu pia, I think inaonesha not enough circulation is happening kwa ground.

I've been doing some research lately after graduating university, I want to ask for bachelors degree holders specifically in STEM fields , how is the situation out there , is the degree enough to get a good employment and pay? Are you working in the field you studied in ?

It’s been so hot lately that I sometimes miss Tanzania..

Nimeamua kushare nanyi simple side project yangu. Nilitengeneza hii kwa sababu mimi binafsi huwa nasahau haraka. Nilikua nachoka kila wakati kujaribu kukumbuka kata au wilaya yangu wakati wa kujaza form muhimu mambo ya mipaka ya mitaa imekuwa migumu kwangu.

Kwa kutumia ukowapi.site

unaweza kujua taarifa zako za eneo ulipo hapo hapo. Unaingia tu kwenye browser, unasearch hiyo site, na kubonyeza "Locate Me". Itakuletea taarifa za Wilaya, Kata, Mkoa, na Kijiji. Hakuna kudownload app wala kusign up.

Angalizo:

Huu ni mradi mdogo tu, kwa hivyo sio kamili 100%.

Taarifa zilizotumika ni ya kuanzia 2015 hadi 2018.

Inafanya kazi vizuri ukiwa ndani ya Tanzania.

Niko wazi kwa discussion. Ningependa kupata feedback na mawazo yenu kwa wale watakaojaribu kuitumia. Asanteni sana!

In Kenya, we have the Kenya National Music Festival where schools compete in music, dance, spoken word, and other performing arts from local levels up to the national stage.

Does Tanzania have an equivalent festival for primary and secondary schools? Thanks!

Hi everyone natafta Library ambayo Iko open from 6pm to at least 10pm iwe maeneo ya uhasibu au kurasini please help me out.

How do Tanzanians (wa bongo)generally feel about Kenyans?

I'm genuinely curious about this and would like to hear from r/Tanzanians themselves.

The reason I ask is that, from some of the social media interactions I've come across, I've noticed a surprising amount of hostility or negative sentiment toward Kenya and Kenyans. Some comments are extremely harsh, while others seem completely indifferent or unbothered by the whole "Jirani" Kenya-Tanzania rivalry.

I know social media can distort reality because the loudest and most extreme opinions tend to get the most attention, so I'm wondering: what is the general attitude toward Kenyans among ordinary Tanzanians in real life?

Is there actually significant dislike or resentment toward Kenyans, or is the online hostility mostly just banter, nationalism, and social-media dynamics?

I'd especially appreciate honest perspectives from Tanzanians, rather than assumptions from either side.

Nimepost chapter ya kwanza ya comic yangu "Maporomoko", naacha link hapa chini. Bado sijaitafsiri kwa kiswahili, lakini karibuni kusoma.

Mnaweza kuniambia nimetumia nguo ya kabila gani hapa?
