EU SENDS CONDOLENCES TO BEREAVED FAMILIES AND TANZANIAN AUTHORITIES OVER THE ZANZIBAR TRAGEDY


It is with great sadness and regret that the European Union and its Member States have heard of the tragic loss of so many lives as a result of the capsizing of MV Spice Islander off the coast of Zanzibar.
 
We would like to express our deep condolences and sympathy to the bereaved families and friends, as well as to the Governments of the United Republic of Tanzania and the People's Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar.
 
The European Union, as a long and trusted partner, stands ready to offer its support to deal with the consequences of this terrible tragedy.

Emmanuel Kihaule
Press and Information Officer
Delegation of the European Union to Tanzania
