Hassan Sworn In

Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan was sworn in for a second term on Monday during what opposition leaders and civil rights activists are calling the country’s worst political crisis since its independence in 1961.

“Our responsibility is to build our today to be better than our yesterday,” Hassan said in her inauguration address, which was aired on state TV from a fortified military base rather than the standard locale of a public stadium. “I beg that we continue protecting our values of unity and collaboration.”

Her call for unity comes just days after thousands of Tanzanians took to the streets across the country—and especially in Dar es Salaam, the country’s largest city—to protest what they claim was a rigged presidential election.
