BBC reports that the youth-led demos are a result of poor government policies, and the threat of them returning will remain in the atmosphere until after the government looks into their demands.
It has cited unemployment and misuse of public funds as among the reasons behind the youth anger being witnessed not only in Tanzania, but across the world.
The broadcaster reports that this is why most of the people caught in relation to the October 29 protests were unemployed youth and players of the informal sector.
"It is not surprising to see that most of the suspects in treason cases are young people from the informal sector who are more involved in driving and small businesses to earn their living," the report states.
Citing a recent report by Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, BBC also warns against what it claims is police brutality against those questioning the government as among the cause of anger among the youth, making them pursue a change of administration.
"The current political systems are not responsive to the anger and demands of Gen Z. The constitution does not reflect the daily needs of young people and other levels of accountability like the judiciary are like they live on their own planet."
"The only way these young people communicate and relate to the state is through public servants who are indifferent to their needs and desires while security agencies continuously brutalize them."
