Ubalozi wa Marekani kwa Tanzania umewatahadharisha raia wa Marekani waishio nchini kuhusiana na Operesheni UKUTA iliyopangwa kufanyika septemba.
Taarifa kutoka ofisi za ubalozi huo zinaeleza kuwa kuna hofu ya maandamano hayo kudumu hata baada ya september mosi hivyo kuwataka raia wake kuwa makini na usalama wao.
Ubalozi umeeleza kuwa raia wa Marekani hawajawai kuwa wahanga wa maandamano yaliyopita ila umewataka raia wake kuwa makini juu ya usalama pamoja na kufuatilia vyombo vya habari vya ndani ili kujua kinachoendelea.
Ubalozi huo umesema ingawa maandamano yamedhamiriwa kuwa ya amani, kuna uwezekano wa kutotokea makabiliano yatakayoweza kusababisha machafuko hivyo kuwataka raia wake kuepuka maeneo yatakayokuwa na maandamano.
