Tanzania Forms Team to Prevent Genocide

Tanzania is taking early steps to ensure no genocide would ever hit the country.

An 18-member committee has been formed to educate the people on the dangers of mass killing.

The committee will have the mandate to travel countrywide to conduct surveys to determine early indicators of genocide and advise the government on the way forward, the minister for Constitutional and Legal Affairs, Mr Mathias Chikawe, told an international conference on prevention of genocide here yesterday.

Mr Chikawe admitted that some early signs of genocide have been identified in the country, disguised in the form of ethnic and sectarian violence and if left unchecked they could spiral into countrywide doom.
