Arusha

The Tanzanian government has directed regional and council health officials to eliminate cholera outbreaks by the 2026/27 financial year as part of the Zero Cholera Tanzania initiative. The directive aims to achieve this goal through coordinated efforts across health sectors.

Tanzania has blamed outside agitators for deadly election violence that occurred during October elections. Protesters in Arusha, a major city, were involved in the unrest, which the government attributes to external influences.
