Tundu Lissu – The political survival of the oddsania pushing for sharp reforms

In 2017, the assassination attempt was shot 16 times, Tindu Lissu is the great survival of Tanzania policy – and one of the most pursued politicians.

However, some already ask that the line has reached the end of the line.

Leader of the main opposition party Lissu, Chadema, after charges of betrayal – is a focus on the maximum sentence for the death penalty.

Again, he has not been identified. Despite the great risk, he believes that he will put pressure on the government to establish reforms in front of the presidential and parliamentary elections in October.

But against the fact that the storm is in a tough political environment, it is against the fact that the weather and politically controlled charges?

His party was removed from the election and was imprisoned for the last two weeks.

In September last year, Lissu said nothing would come to the BBC in a silver container, and this will require courage to demand reforms in the streets and villages.

He felt he preferred his chairman’s leadership to achieve his goals.

A fiery politician was criticized to use Lissu Party, then President Freeman Mbowe has a lot of reconciliation against the government, he said.

In a tense competition, MBOWE was overturned.

Only three months later in the wheel of Cheadem, Lissu was arrested this month and was taken into custody for a speech allegedly called on a speech to rebel the public and violate the elections.

There was not allowed to enter a plea on charges of betrayal, but he admitted that he was not guilty of a separate charge to disseminate false information.

Before arresting, he held meetings in the country with the call of Reforms and No Elections.

He said that the current system was falsified in favor of the judge CCM, without reforms, there was no result to participate in the elections.

It is due to the re-appearance in court on Thursday. Cannot seek for collateral because he is charged with charges of betrayal.

International lawyer Robert Amsterdam, BBC said he was “a mission to defend democracy.”

Again, it is not a simple task – CCM has won each election since its independence and did not allow them to go easily.

There is also a Rifa in Chadema along with some members with Lissu strategy.

The party opposes the October election after refusing to sign the procedure for signing the rules of the election commission in the October elections.

The main purpose of the document “is to ensure good behavior of political parties and supporters and protect peace and harmony during the elections.”

Chadema sees the rules of behavior as a HOLD, which contains the opposition and afraid of state repressions.

In September, a large Chadema Party official, the government’s critics were abducted and brutally killed.

Chadema, during the local elections in November, said thousands of candidates were banned from participation. The ruling party won 98% of the seats.

The government rejected the proposals that the elections were held in accordance with the rules.

However, the local elections for Lissu have justified the challenges of reforms before the presidential and parliamentary surveys.

The campaign group Human Rights Watch expressed similar fears and called on the government to put an end to political repression.

The Catholic Church added his voice to make Lissu’s unconditional release and call for fair elections.

However, the arrest of opposition politicians, Prime Minister Cassim Majalywa in early this month, promises to provide security and justice in the box.

BBC has reached the government for comment.

President Samya Suluhu Hassan gave great political freedom to Tanzanians after death in the office of Salafi John Magufuli in 2021.

However, Tanzania, once again, the repression and the state orchestrivli, which is characterized by Magufuli, began to see a wave of violence. “

During this period, Lissu escaped from the assassination attempt.

Before arresting, Lissu said the party had a list of at least minimum, but critical reforms to guarantee the free elections.

Mr. Amsterdam told the BBC that this “indeed independent national election commission, did not have any connection in the government,” he said.

Chadema also requires that if there are election disputes, the burden of evidence must be related to the commission to show that the voting is free and fair.

Lissu’s strategy came a heavy value to himself and Chadema because a faction was a softer position inside the party known as G-55.

He called the party to the competition While negotiations with the government talks with the government.

This is the approach to the second largest opposition party, ACT-Wazalendo.

16 Fringe signed the rules of conduct in conjunction with the opposition party. Only Chadema refused.

When Lissu saw the neighboring Kenyan, the Government of Mass Protests forced the Government of Mass Protests – forced to increase taxes as a model to monitor the taxes last year.

At that time, he said that the BBC did not press the Tanzanians quite harshly for democratic reforms “and that Kenyan democratic display is something that needs to do.

It is unknown in operating such a strategy, because many Tanzanians do not want to support a campaign that can rult the government.

However, Mr. Amsterdam, the government will be more intrent, and Chadema’s supporters will be more likely to be more and more.

He added that Chadema will use “every legal and political tool” to achieve change.

However, political scientist Thomas Kibwana Lissu’s strategy, due to the end of the current parliament due to the expiration of the current parliament, will not be a month of time to make a legal impact on the October elections.

He said he could be better for Chadema after the election.

In Tanzania, Fulgence Massawe, the director of the Legal Rights Organization, had the right to go to court to exclude the party’s election with the election of the BBC’s election reform.

Mr. Minde, Chadema is out of the election, the ruling party is likely to increase the oversight of the parliament.

Analyst added that Chadema even stood as the main opposition party and, “Of course, nature is withdrawn and other opposition parties will seize this opportunity.”

Lissu and the party is a risk choosing to take.
