The US government on Thursday said it was reconsidering relations with Tanzania in the wake of its heavy-hand response against protesters.
In the announcement, Washington said it was concerned with the security agencies’ violent response to protests, including killings noting that such actions “raise grave concerns about the direction of our bilateral relationship and the reliability of the Tanzanian government as a partner.”
