Quotes What we’re seeing is a very insecure presidential candidate, who lives in self-exile in Nairobi. She has to lean more heavily on that security apparatus. And she has decided that she doesn’t want to have any free or fair election. She just wants to get her second term. And that decision comes at a very heavy price. I am deeply grateful to the media for amplifying my plight, to the public, and to the many politicians who raised their voices. Their efforts and voices pressured my captors, forcing them to rethink their plans. External links Category:Living people Category:Women activists from Tanzania
