The outspoken Tanzanian opposition leader Tundu Lissu who was shot almost 20 times during President John Magufuli’s regime, want the current government led by President Samia Suluhu Hassan to disclose people who gave orders for his bloody assassination attempt.<\/p>\n

This week Mr Lissu tweeted that it is time for the current Tanzanian President Suluhu to reveal to him and the world the people who were behind\u00a0the attempt, The Star reported. Lissu also wants the government to disclose those who gave the orders for his attack.<\/p>\n

“When Magufuli is gone, it’s time new President Samia told me, the nation and the world who’s behind the shooting and why? Who gave what order to whom?\u00a0 Her silence on this issue can’t hold any longer.” Lissu said.<\/p>\n

The incident<\/strong><\/p>\n

In September 7, 2017 Lissu was shot several times by gunmen, whom up to date never been\u00a0 identified nor convicted for assassination attempt.<\/p>\n

The incident happened near his home in the capital Dodoma, and he was rushed to a Hospital in Kenya where President Suluhu who was President\u00a0 Magufuli’s Vice by then visited him. After the attack, Lissu underwent\u00a0 more than 20 operations in Kenya\u00a0and Belgium in order to recover but Magufuli never visited him.<\/p>\n

While returning back home from Belgium, his supporters greeted him at the airport as a hero, and also called him brave and fearless when he ran\u00a0for president of Tanzania three years after surviving the assassination\u00a0attempt.<\/p>\n

Why does Lissu want the assassins\u00a0to be revealed now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lissu after undergoing the 25th surgical operation\u00a0this week said with Magufuli gone, it is time for the new President Samia to tell the nation and the world at large who was behind the shooting and why? And who gave orders? “Her silence on this issue can’t hold\u00a0 any longer,” said Lissu.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0opposition had asked the Commonwealth Secretariat\u00a0and the African Union to investigate\u00a0claims of electoral fraud, violence, and human rights violations in Tanzania.<\/p>\n

Tundu Lissu was the one who generated intense speculation of President Magufuli’s Covid-19 illness weeks before his sudden death on 17 March 2021, when he started asking questions over his whereabouts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
