🇹🇿 Ujasusi Blog's 2026 Tanzania Forecast
Ujasusi Blog’s New Year Special Edition
📋 Executive Summary
Tanzania enters 2026 facing an unprecedented regime crisis following the 29 October 2025 massacre that killed 5,000-10,000 people according to ICC submissions. President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s administration, having lost all domestic and international legitimacy, faces a catastrophic multi-dimensional collapse: ICC prosecution, internal CCM fragmentation, economic implosion, and escalating state brutality as the regime’s sole survival mechanism.
Primary Assessment: Samia Suluhu Hassan is unlikely to complete 2026 as president. The regime has entered a terminal phase where survival depends exclusively on violence, creating unsustainable conditions that will trigger either internal coup, popular uprising, or negotiated transition.
Confidence Level: Medium-High (60-70% probability of regime change in 2026)
