        Insulting Mwalimu Magufuli is disrespectful. Feed of expression demands sensible minds which resist spreading vitriol.

        I thought that was freedom of expression, why charge him. African Leaders need help, they are a disgrace and incompetent leaders + arrogant

        As always, this is what they (BBC) want us to believe was the only reason Lisu was charged for?!!..shame

        So more to be done with the whole story around. The Lisu's saga is far more from mere calling the president "dictator"

        He possibly said much worse than calling him a dictator. Don't be fast to judge. Opposition politicians can be insolent very often

        You have rather to confirm first such sensitive information from the neutral and third part not basing on one source. It's disgusting...
