Tanzanian ex-ambassador and government critic abducted, family says
Tanzanian ex-ambassador to Ireland and government critic, Mustapha Diya, has been reportedly abducted, as stated by his family. The incident took place on Monday evening outside his home in Dar es Salaam, the largest city in Tanzania. Diya’s family claims that a group of masked men abducted him and drove away in an unmarked car. No further information on his whereabouts or the identity of the abductors has been disclosed.
Diya, known for his vocal criticism of the Tanzanian government, had been previously recalled from his ambassadorial position in Ireland following disputes with the Tanzanian authorities. The government, on the other hand, has not yet issued any official statement regarding the alleged abduction.
The family of Mustapha Diya is appealing for help from the public and authorities to secure his safe return. Concerns are rising over his safety, especially in light of the political tensions surrounding government critics in Tanzania.
