As per the current GPI ranking, which is prepared by the Institute for Economics and Peace, Tanzania is placed at number 55 out of 162 countries surveyed. <\/p>\n

There have been two incidents of bomb attacks, both in Arusha, that killed seven people in total and injured over 100 others. <\/p>\n
Widespread riots disrupted businesses in Mtwara and Lindi regions, as residents protested the construction of the gas pipeline from Mtwara to Dar es Salaam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
