The Catholic Church in Tanzania on Monday condemned the recent killings of protesters and warned that there would be no peace without justice, as the government calls for dialogue following a disputed general election that international observers say fell short of a free and fair vote.
During a funeral service on Monday at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in the commercial capital, Dar es Salaam, Archbishop Jude Thaddaeus Ruwa’ichi stressed the country’s urgent need for healing, saying that “The punishment for protests is not to shoot and kill.”
