Dar es Salaam. As Tanzania continues to absorb the shock of the October 29 unrest, and with authorities warning of renewed attempts to mobilise young people for another disturbance on December 9, the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) has used its 55th graduation ceremony to make a deliberate call for calm, unity and responsible citizenship.
Speaking during the fourth session of the graduation ceremony at the Mlimani City Conference Centre, on December 1, 2025, Vice Chancellor Prof William Anangisye delivered a message that resonated deeply with the moment: the country’s peace is a shared national treasure that must be protected, especially by the youth.
