Tanzania’s Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism has assured both citizens and international tourists that calm has been fully restored nationwide after post-election unrest that occurred between October 29 and November 1.
In a statement issued Tuesday night, the ministry confirmed that daily life and economic activities have resumed normally across the country, following government efforts to stabilize the situation.
The ministry further noted that Tanzania, as a member of the UN World Tourism Organization, continues to comply with global standards designed to protect the safety of travelers.
All entry and exit points—including airports, land borders, seaports, and railway terminals—remain fully operational, and tourism services across the country are functioning without interruption.
The statement reiterated that Tanzania remains a secure and stable destination for tourism, investment, and business activity.
The unrest began on polling day, when youth-led demonstrations calling for electoral reforms and the release of detained opposition figures escalated into violent confrontations with police in Dar es Salaam, Mbeya, Songwe, and Arusha, resulting in injuries and property damage.
President Samia Suluhu Hassan was declared the winner of the election, securing 97.66% of the vote.
