Will there be censorship in Tanzania? Most likely, yes.
With the current tensions in Tanzania following the October elections, the police have declared the protests scheduled for December 9th illegal. These actions, along with preventive arrests and media censorship, suggest the government will not allow free demonstrations. Additionally, international organizations like Human Rights Watch and the UN have already expressed concerns about restrictions on freedom of expression and internet blackouts during key events.
The situation seems to be worsening with each passing day. As peaceful protests are suppressed, opposition leaders and demonstrators are facing charges of treason. Throughout this conflict, press freedom has been one of the first casualties.
What do you think? Do you believe censorship in Tanzania will keep increasing, or is there hope the government will make concessions to stop the repression? #local
