Tanzanian police on Tuesday evening reaffirmed that the country's security situation remains stable, hours after an earlier update issued at midday.
Police spokesperson David Misime said the defense and security apparatus continues to safeguard citizens, property, and critical infrastructure, ensuring calm across the nation.
He noted that police, in coordination with other security and defense agencies, will intensify patrols and preventive measures overnight to deter any activities that could threaten public safety.
Misime urged the public to comply with safety guidelines and uphold the law, stressing that collective responsibility is vital to maintaining national security.
Authorities have reinforced security in major cities to counter planned demonstrations, largely organized by young Tanzanians demanding the release of bodies of those killed during protests following the Oct. 29 general election.
On Monday, Minister of Home Affairs George Simbachawene warned citizens against joining demonstrations scheduled for Dec. 9, declaring them unlawful and cautioning that participation would be treated as a criminal offense.
