Tanzania’s opposition party offices ‘burnt’ before the leader arrives for meeting

Tanzania’s opposition Chadema party’s office in the north-eastern town of Arusha has been “firebombed”, according to its leader Tundu Lissu.

In a Twitter post on Friday, Tundu said the offices were destroyed on the eve of his arrival in Arusha.

“Our Northern Zone party HQ in Arusha has been firebombed and destroyed on the eve of my arrival in Arusha. Today’s timetable remains unchanged. No amount of terror and intimidation will stop this Tsunami for change in Tanzania. Arusha here we come,” he said.
