Tanzanian Opposition Figure Tundu Lissu Returns Home

Tanzanian opposition stalwart Tundu Lissu arrived back in his homeland on Wednesday to a rousing welcome from Chadema party supporters after spending most of the past five years in exile following an assassination attempt. He arrived in Dar es Salaam on a flight from Brussels via Addis Ababa. His return follows President Samia Suluhu Hassan's announcement this month that a ban on political rallies imposed by her hardline predecessor John Magufuli would be lifted.
