The UK High Commission in Tanzania warned its nationals in the East African nation against a terror attack, telling them that terrorists are very likely to carry out attacks in Tanzania in the immediate future. It advises UK citizens against travelling to any area within 20km of the Tanzanian border with the Cabo Delgado province of Mozambique, due to attacks by groups linked with Islamic extremism.
The area is infamous for protracted fighting between Mozambican/Tanzanian authorities and terrorist groups linked with the international terror group Islamic State. The fighting in the northern part of Mozambique has split across the border with Tanzania, which is contributing troops to the country under the umbrella of the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
The last known terrorist act in Dar es Salaam took place on August 25, 2021, when three police officers and one civilian were killed following a shootout with a man who was on a shooting spree roaming the Ali Hassan Mwinyi Road from the Selandar Bridge area.
