Following the general elections held in Tanzania on 29th October 2025, incidents of election-related unrest and violence have led the government to impose a nationwide curfew and a complete shutdown of internet, media, and social platforms.
As a result, our Tanzania office is currently unable to carry out operations, and the port has been closed until further notice.
