President Samia Suluhu Hassan reaffirmed Tanzania's commitment to religious freedom while calling for national unity during Eid al-Fitr celebrations in Dar es Salaam. Speaking at the national Eid Baraza on April 10, 2025, she stated that the government would protect the rights of all citizens to practice their faiths, according to state media reports from the event.
The President urged religious leaders to promote harmony and avoid divisive teachings that could threaten the country's stability. Her remarks were delivered at the Karimjee Grounds, a traditional venue for the major Eid congregation in the commercial capital.
This public address follows ongoing efforts by her administration to foster a more inclusive political environment compared to the previous government. The message of unity is seen as crucial for maintaining peace in a nation with significant Muslim and Christian populations.
