The President of the Young Democrat Union of Africa, Ms. Louisa Atta-Agyemang has made a strong call on the Chairman of the Southern Africa Development Community, H.E Dr Lazarus McCathy Chakwera to use his good office to intervene to ensure the political situation in Tanzania where leaders of the opposition party , CHADEMA are indiscriminately arrested and harassed.
She indicated YDUA, has been actively involved in campaigning for reforms and freedom for all persons.
“ Mr. President, Free Mbowe is still in custody and being dragged up and down to court on grounds which clearly show how the Tanzania ruling government is incensed on clamping down on opposition. This a chance for African leaders to do right by democracy and our future generations. “ She further stated.
In response, President Lazarus Chakwera assured the union and young people of his commitment to deepening social protection and promotion of human dignity.
“If you ask me to be an ambassador for youth, yes I will …”
The political situation has drawn a lot of international condemnation with YDUA’s call being the latest . Following the death of President Magafuli, his successor President Samia Suluhu has continued the indiscriminate arrest and oppression of the opposition.
