President Samia Suluhu Hassan on Thursday appointed her third head of intelligence in less than two years in the latest indication of a major shake-up targeting her inner circle in the run-up to Tanzania's election season.
Suleiman Abubakar Mombo was sworn in Thursday evening as Director-General of the Tanzania Intelligence and Security Services (TISS) in place of Ali Idi Siwa, who had held the position for just 11 months.
