US Shifts ‘Christian Persecution’ Narrative From Nigeria to Tanzania
After weaponising the “Christian genocide” narrative against Nigeria, and ultimately showing its hand with a policy proposal focused entirely on the country’s foreign alliances and resources as against any supposed Christian plight, Washington is now turning its attention to Tanzania. At a US Senate hearing on April 28, Republican Senator Ted Cruz accused Tanzania of suppressing Christians, despite presenting no concrete evidence.
The Spearhead’s feature-length investigative documentary titled “What Happened On October 29?” examines why Tanzania has suddenly become the latest target of this recycled US propaganda effort, the economic and geopolitical interests driving the campaign, and the complicit local actors. The documentary premieres in Accra on May 26, in Dar es Salaam on May 29, and in Nairobi on May 31.
