There is no publicly available evidence that cooperation between Russia's Federal Security Service and Tanzania's Tanzania Intelligence and Security Service is intended to "eliminate" people who oppose the current Tanzanian government. Any claim of assassination, repression, or targeting of political opponents through such cooperation would be speculation unless supported by credible evidence.
What is publicly known is that Tanzania and Russia have been expanding cooperation in several sectors, including security matters. Tanzanian intelligence officials have publicly cited terrorism, cybercrime, money laundering, drug trafficking, and human trafficking as areas where international intelligence cooperation is important.
Under Tanzanian law, TISS is mandated to gather and analyze intelligence relevant to national security. The law explicitly states that TISS should not conduct surveillance solely because a person is involved in lawful protest or lawful dissent regarding government policies.
In practice, intelligence-sharing agreements between countries usually focus on:
Counter-terrorism
Counter-espionage
Organized crime
Cybersecurity
Financial crime and money laundering
Border and transnational security threats
However, political analysts often note that intelligence cooperation can raise concerns about civil liberties and political freedoms, especially when intelligence agencies exchange information on individuals considered security risks. Whether such powers are used appropriately depends on legal oversight, institutional accountability, and adherence to national laws.
Therefore, the evidence currently supports the conclusion that Tanzania and Russia are strengthening security and intelligence cooperation, but there is no verified public evidence that this cooperation is aimed at eliminating or unlawfully targeting government critics.
