DODOMA, 24 April, 2021 (TON): On Thursday, Tanzania's new president Samia Suluhu Hassan said she was ready to defend democracy and fundamental freedoms.

The President added that she would soon hold talks with opposition leaders, in her first speech to parliament.

“Democracy, individual freedom and freedom of the press "are important to foster development and peace," the president said.

She added, "In the interest of protecting democracy, I intend to meet with all political party leaders to discuss how they can best conduct their political activities for the benefit of our country."

His first term in office was marked by a sharp decline in fundamental freedoms, according to human rights organizations.

In the end, she indicated that her country's response to the pandemic would henceforth be based on science, whereas John Magufuli systematically played down the pandemic.
