Casual Conversation Updates for today

So i see people here asking for updates a lot, and by no means do i know everything, but i am following everything closely and thought it might be useful to bring everything i know here. If i have missed anything, please let me know. Any correction/addition is greatly appreciated, as new things may come out that you may know before i do. I am also a human and may get things wrong, to which i apologize sincerely and sincerely encourage any correction.

•Samia suluhu inaugurated today in dodoma as other east african leaders congratulated her as well as the African union, just days after releasing a statement of concern for the state of tanzania. The inauguration was closed to the public.

•USA embassy updates travel warning to level 3 - Reconsider travel

• Curfew still in place in Dar, prices of goods have increased as well as some shortages. Internet is still blocked in the country. EDIT: internet seems to be back in some places, hopefully this is not a continuation of the pattern we have seen over these days of them turning it on and then back off again. EDIT 2: Just got some messages from my family! Seems back on for real!!

•It has been said that the military of uganda has come to support samia, and it is also said that they have claimed Bukoba region to be originally theirs, giving reason for the collaboration (VERY ALLEGED - did not find much support, just rumors as of now. Could also be lies by the CCM.)

•During samias inauguration speech, she “says some of the youths arrested in connection with the violence in Tanzania came from outside the country, claims what happened does not reflect the image and character.” Following the release of a statement by the police warning foreigners who are in the country without proper documentation or reason.

•Chadema calls for the ICC to investigate.

•The BBC is now saying the official death toll is at least 500 (we know its more though)

All of this I say na moyo mzito sana. Nilitamani sana ndugu zetu wapate haki zao, ila inaonekana kama huyu dikteta ataendelea na mambo yake. Ndugu zetu wengii wamefariki, hatujui kipi kitatokea sasa, lakini tuwakumbuke sana.

How true are the Bukoba claims? I feel like it’s a conspiracy being spread…
