Africa TodayBBC Africa Eye investigates Tanzania abductionsA BBC Africa Eye investigation has been told that a high-ranking police officer in Tanzania's main city Dar es Salaam was linked to the abduction of several activists, who allege they were subsequently abused by other officers. They claim their ordeals happened as the government was cracking down on dissent ahead of the October 2025 presidential election.
And West African words and expressions like “abeg” or “biko” were included in the latest update of the Oxford English Dictionary. How does it benefit the culture?
