​The 'Better Than Men' Test - Samia Suluhu Hassan Orders Probe Into Deadly Election Violence.

President Samia Suluhu Hassan Orders Probe Into Post-Election Killings & Addresses the Nation.

​President Samia Suluhu Hassan addresses a deeply divided nation, speaking before Parliament to formally announce the launch of a government commission of inquiry into the deaths and extensive property damage that occurred during the recent post-election crackdown by security forces.

​In a somber moment, President Hassan offers heartfelt condolences to the families of citizens killed in the streets, acknowledging the deep pain and loss that followed the disputed October election. This televised address marks a critical, long-awaited step towards acknowledging the violence and the role of police officers in the unrest.

​The speech comes under intense scrutiny, particularly in light of a powerful statement the President made earlier in her term. During an interview at the Africa Development Bank in March 2021, Samia Suluhu Hassan boldly suggested she could lead the nation better than her male predecessors. Now, observers and opposition critics are questioning that claim, pointing to the bloodshed and alleged human rights violations surrounding the recent polls, where high casualty reports have been widely circulated.

​Is this investigation a genuine move towards justice, or a political maneuver to quell international and domestic pressure? Watch the full report for clips from the President's address, exclusive analysis of the commission’s mandate, and a look back at the controversial 2021 interview that set the stage for her presidency.
