Many other allied countries are concerned, who heard about the 40+ deaths in Kenya for example ? An easy comparison with the HK riots who killed none but were abundantly supported. Or that we'll be currently talking about the pro-EU manifestations in Georgia or Romania, but never about the anti-n.a.t.o. or anti-e.u., unless in a negative way, it's not a question of geography but of political allegiance.

(Kinda )Unrelated bonus :

And, beyond not believing in the legitimacy of bourgeois "democracies", socialist countries with local democracy and only one political party do so in order to counter the $30 billions of USAID and the tens of billions of other agencies, who'd unfairly finance the opponents.

They were socialist during Nyerere’s presidency

Ah, f*ck, if they're still socialists then i messed up(, not that it's what you're saying).
Even if the c.c.m. is the heir of Nyerere since multipartism was introduced in 1992, it'd still be a stretch to consider them communists, right ? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chama_Cha_Mapinduzi

Furthermore :

In the early 1980s, with a change of President and following a period of sharp economic decline, Tanzania shifted course away from the socialist agenda pursued since 1967 towards a more market-oriented economy.
In 1986, the Government embarked on its first comprehensive adjustment program. One of the central elements of the Government's reform agenda has been a privatization program.
During 1994-1998, Tanzania divested about 270 public enterprises (PEs). These included mainly small-medium PEs in tradable goods sectors, but also a number of large PEs (e.g., brewery, cigarette factory). In some cases, such as leather, privatization of PEs has opened up markets for private entrepreneurs and improved output and efficiency. There have, however, also been cases in some sectors where delays in divestiture have contributed to deterioration of fixed assets, and created uncertainty which has limited private investment.
In late 1996 the Government of Tanzania (GOT) decided to expand the privatization program to divest all major utility and infrastructure PEs (water, telecommunications, ports, railways, electricity) banking, agriculture and mining PEs. The GOT's stated aim is to divest all of these enterprises by the end of 2000.
However, in practice, it is expected that divestiture of the remaining 230 PEs will take longer, and some (notably in infrastructure) will be opened to private investment in stages over the medium to long term.

And i haven't found a Gini index before 1991 :

(i'm less criticizing them for not being socialist enough, other political parties could do worse b.t.w., than defending the assertion made in my title there)
I didn't expected this 98% to be so exceptional if i'm understanding wikipedia right : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chama_Cha_Mapinduzi#Electoral_history
