Yes, today a viral video from Captain Charles Tesha was published on Youtube. At one point today plenty of people was claiming it was A.I. video and not a real person speaking. Later it has been verified that his part of the army and a military aviation school.
“The Tanzania People’s Defence Force (JWTZ) informs the Tanzanian public that some people have emerged who are using social media to post content that encourages the involvement of the Force in political matters. In addition, some of these arguments are made by people who are in the military environment, identify themselves with the Force, who were discharged from the Force for bad behavior and conduct as well as engaging in politics and activism. In this sense, the TPF would like to inform the Tanzanian public that it continues to carry out its constitutional duties with honesty, loyalty and courage in accordance with our oath” (Jeshi la Ulinzi la Wananchi wa Tanzania (JWTZ), 04.10.2025).
So, the army has verified that he was an active member and now his discharged. That says something in itself. In addition, they are doing this to the Captain and taking away his duties. His words had some power and that’s why they did this so quickly.
You things are bad when the Captain said the nation is in danger. So, the only reasonable thing he could do was to write a letter to his superiors to express dissatisfaction with the state of the country. Further he said that the JWTZ should takeover the country, because he claimed the Tanzanians only trust the army. Another issue that he wants to block the elections since they are rigged and full of scandals. He also claims there is a “deep state” that controls the CCM. Those 5 people should be taken into custody and arrested. This is just a snippet of it and a tiny note of what he said.
When a lower ranking army commander says this. It is concerning, but also signals a deeper sentiment. People are cheering him on and happy for his message. They are saying they are behind him and support what he did. It has cost and he lost his duties. Certainly, there would possibly be more ramifications and we can only imagine if he gets arrested or charged with treason even. That’s what happens when people speak out like this.
Expect the worst. The CCM won’t relent and they cannot handle dissent kindly. No, they silence people who talks and dares to speak out. That’s why you know this Captain has a hard time ahead of him. He won’t only be dismissed, but he will tarnish his whole career. That’s the price he will pay.
We are currently seeing how the authorities are acting towards civilians, activists, opposition leaders and others. The Captain will be touched, but we don’t know how yet. Peace.
