Tanzania's government has signed a controversial port management deal with a Dubai-based company that had fueled protests in the African country and led to arrests of dozens of critics. The deal was signed on Sunday in the presence of Tanzania’s President Samia Suluhu Hassan who has recently been accused of cracking down on critics.

NAIROBI, Kenya — Tanzania’s government signed a controversial port management deal with Dubai-based DP World that had fueled protests in the African country in the past months and led to arrests of dozens of critics.

Tanzania Ports Authority Director General Plasduce Mbossa said that DP World, based in the United Arab Emirates, will only operate four berths and not the entire port. Its performance would be reviewed every five years for a total contractual period of 30 years. The ports agreement was approved by Tanzania’s parliament on June 10, triggering protests in which more than 22 people have been arrested so far, according to Human Rights Watch.
