“Tanzania is my second home. My son’s ethnicity. My heart aches for you. You have endured so much. May Allah make it easy for you and heal your country as a whole. Nawapenda watanzania wenzangu,” she wrote.

She reminded those involved in inciting violence that true strength is not measured through confrontation but through conversation and cooperation.

“We must choose what benefits us all, because the safety of our entire nation is protected by each one of us, with all our might and at any cost,” the president said during her inauguration ceremony.

The Head of State said she was speaking both as a leader and as a mother to the nation, asking Tanzanians to prioritise dialogue and peace over chaos.

She warned those fuelling disorder that the consequences of unrest only lead to pain, loss, and division. Samia said that while violence ends in the testing of power and might, dialogue breeds understanding, reconciliation, and national unity.

“I sincerely urge my fellow citizens to uphold peace and tranquillity. I want to use this opportunity, as a mother, to issue a warning to all those who have incited violence and unrest. Let them understand that chaos and the absence of peace only end in the testing of strength and defence, but dialogue brings about unity and understanding,” she added.
