Is the rift opening up in Tanzania? State of panic as soils are liquefying and swallowing homes in Dar es Salaam

The soil under Dar el Sallam, the finance capital of Tanzania, is mysteriously liquefying under homes and businesses.

Mud has been seen coming out of the soil, destroying at least 9 houses (total collapse), cracking tens of others and prompting mass evacuations.

Residents started taking the situation seriously when a child and a cow almost drowned in one of the mud pools

The source of the oozing mud is unknown

It was first thought it could be coming from a small stream. But then the similar phenomenon was discovered in many neighboring districts of the town. So what the heck?

According to residents of a neighborhood, a small hill formed at the center of an abandoned football field. And now, this small ‘volcano’ seems to be the epicenter of the ‘mudslides’ in the area.

Yes, it is probably no new mud volcano formation and eruption. Dar es Salaam was not built in a volcanic region.

It’s a lot better than the Sidoarjo mud flow.

The rift zone is well to the west of Dar es Salaam. Someone needs to look at a map.

I suspect it would be better if they built massive reservoirs instead of overusing aquifers, thereby causing soil settlement. But reservoirs are expensive. Whereas digging a well is cheap.

You need to look more closely at that top picture. The front half of a significant portion of the country's assets can be seen on the left side of your screen.

A big chunk of East Africa is predicted to become a part of the ocean.

Maybe salt water is intruding from underground rifts?

“Dar Es Salaam” in Arabic means “House of peace”. It is a code phrase in islam which means territory that has been taken over by islam.

The opposite is “Dar es Hab” or “House of War”. Which means, you know, America. Or You. Or Me.

Let the Earth swallow up Dar es salaam. It’s Biblical.
