The State Department alerts U.S. citizens residing in or traveling to Tanzania to the upcoming general elections scheduled for October 25, 2015. U.S. citizens are urged to exercise caution and remain abreast of the security situation throughout the electoral period. This Travel Alert expires on November 30, 2015.
The State Department recommends U.S. citizens maintain a high level of security awareness leading up to, during, and following the election period. U.S. citizens should avoid political rallies, polling centers, demonstrations, and crowds of any kind as even gatherings intended to be peaceful can become confrontational and turn violent. Review your personal security plans; remain aware of your surroundings, including local events; and monitor local news stations for updates. Although there have been no specific incidents of violence targeting U.S. citizens, U.S. citizens are urged to exercise caution and stay current with media coverage of local events.
Monitor local media for any changes in the election schedule. Election results are expected to be announced within a week of the election. For more information about security conditions in Tanzania, please see the Country Specific Information page for Tanzania.

Assuming they were exempted and refusing to donate their troops to work with Amisom, was a terrible mistake. A million times its been said that terrorism is a GLOBAL WARFARE, no country is safe frm terror, even Saudi Arabia are having a difficult time fighting them
