Tanzania is one of Africa’s fastest growing nations economically
and demographically. It’s also governed by one of the continent’s
most controversial leaders, President John Magufuli. Tundu Lissu
is one of his most prominent domestic opponents; at least, he
was, until gunmen pumped more than a dozen bullets into his body
in 2017. Lissu survived and, after recovering in hospital in
Europe, he is determined now to rejoin the fight against a ruler
he describes as a petty dictator.
