Fatma Amani Abeid Karume (born 1969), affectionately and reverently known on Tanzanian social media as "Shangazi" (Auntie), is a fearless human rights lawyer, activist, and the former President of the Tanganyika Law Society (TLS). She possesses one of the most prominent political pedigrees in the country: she is the granddaughter of Zanzibar’s first president, Abeid Amani Karume, and the daughter of its sixth president, Amani Abeid Karume. Despite her establishment bloodline, Fatma emerged as the fiercest, most articulate critic of state authoritarianism during the regime of President John Magufuli, a posture she maintained into the Samia Suluhu era. During her tenure as TLS President, she transformed the bar association into a fortress of constitutional defense. Her uncompromising legal challenges against presidential appointments and electoral laws led to severe state retaliation; in September 2020, the High Court of Tanzania permanently disbarred her from practicing law on the mainland over allegations of "professional misconduct" in a highly politicized ruling. Unbroken, she shifted her battleground to international advocacy and digital activism, remaining a towering figure of resistance in East Africa.
