Arusha. As Tanzania prepares to co-host the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon), the government has urged citizens to safeguard national peace, warning that civil unrest will alienate tourists, weaken businesses, and destabilise the Northern Zone economy, particularly Arusha Region, the country's primary tourism hub.
The call was made on Saturday, August 1, 2026, by Agriculture Deputy Minister, Mr David Silinde, while opening the 32nd Nanenane Agricultural Exhibition at the Themi-Njiro grounds in Arusha.
He emphasised that Arusha residents must lead in preserving tranquillity given the region’s economic significance.
