Tanzanian President, Samia Suluhu Hassan, is reported to be facing even bigger problems ahead, after managing to thwart nationwide protests that sought to have her vacate office.
The East African reports that Samia is now faced with the possibility of having to deal with even more protests in the coming days, should she fail to address what her citizens are demanding.
It has predicted more possible violent clashes in the near future which would worsen the situation in the country, which cannot afford more unrest and destruction of property.
There is also the economic side of it, specifically the challenge of low foreign investment and credit access, which President Samia will have to deal with, on top of the high inflation and weak currency.
The happenings are also reported to have cost Tanzania the trust of some of her neighbours, with Samia now having to assure them of goodwill in pursuit of bilateral trade relations.
Speaking earlier in the week, she admitted that the deadly protests have stained the country's image internationally, with the outcome being less loans and foreign aid.
"We have limited resources and are reliant on foreign loans. The recent happenings have stained us and made acquiring these loans tough," she said.
The East African reports that this situation now forces the government to seek resources internally, which means Tanzanians will have to dig deeper into their pockets in taxes.
Samia's government has been accused of using the police and other security agencies to kill hundreds of the protesters, even as the government remains mum on the number of casualties.
