00:01Police and soldiers flooded the streets of Deir Es Salaam as Tanzania moved to crush planned
00:07democracy protests on Tuesday, leaving the city heavily secured with no demonstrators in sight.
00:18Do we really have peace in our country? Peace is not protected by guns or by using force.
00:25If we have reached this point, it is not good for either the leaders or the people.
00:30If citizens destroy peace, then leaders will have nowhere to stand.
00:35And ordinary people will also have nowhere to stand.
00:39So everyone needs to reflect.
00:41While citizens are being held accountable, leaders should also ask themselves whether they are doing the right thing.
00:48They should think about why these things are happening.
00:51Is it because of the people or because of the leaders?
00:54They should think about why they are doing the right thing.
00:58With protests blocked, supporters have turned to social media to express their grievances.
01:08Everyone has taken this as something that is only being talked about on social media.
01:12But for us, nobody is saying there will be violence or unrest of any kind.
01:22Protesters are also demanding the release of opposition leader Tundu Lusu,
01:27who has been jailed on treason charges.
01:32And for us, we are going to be jailed on the right thing.
01:35We are going to be jailed on the right thing.
