Information on this subject is limited among the sources consulted by the DIRB.
The attached article from the Africa Research Bulletin reports that CCM government ministers were allegedly to be involved in incidents of "antagonism from indigenous Tanzanians towards the wealth and prosperity of Tanzanians of Arab or Asian ethnic origin," but no other information is provided (21 Sept. 1994, 11546).
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the DIRB within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.
