In Tanzania, the government has suspended the online operations of a leading newspaper. This, after it released advertising clips featuring the president and referencing recent abductions and killings of dissidents. The Citizen, one of the most influential English-language papers, said its online publications had been suspended for 30 days by the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority. One of the clips released online earlier this week by The Citizen showed President Samia Suluhu Hassan watching news clips of dissidents and victims of state repression.
Meanwhile, the opposition is accusing the government of cracking down on criticism. One of the leading figures, Tundu Lissu, is suing the government. He says President Samia Suluhu Hassan is returning to the authoritarian practices of John Magufuli.
