Dar es Salaam. Catholic Church leaders in Tanzania have called for continued prayers and national reflection to foster peace grounded in justice. They warned that the country risks losing its dignity and unity if violence and unrest persist.

Their message, delivered during special requiem Masses across several regions, urged Tanzanians to acknowledge the underlying causes of recent unrest and seek honest mediators committed to repentance, reconciliation, and truth.
