Security Message: Nationwide Protests Scheduled for September 1, 2016

The U.S. Embassy in Dar es Salaam alerts U.S. citizens that opposition political leaders have called for a nationwide day of protest currently scheduled for September 1, 2016, but may continue for more than one day.

While U.S. citizens have not been specifically targeted in past demonstrations, we urge you to exercise caution and stay current with media coverage of local events.

Even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and escalate into violence. Avoid areas where demonstrations are taking place and exercise caution when in the vicinity of any large gatherings, protests, or demonstrations.
