Dar es Salaam. President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s launch of the high-level Commission of Inquiry into the October 29 unrest has set the stage for one of the most penetrating political investigations in Tanzania’s contemporary history.
The nine-member team, whose expertise spans law, diplomacy, security and regional governance, now steps into a politically charged landscape, tasked with answering a series of tough and uncomfortable questions the President believes are central to understanding what went wrong.
