Tanzania Government Against Media News

S 1 - 2 - 3 D I ID RK RT C - 0

The Tanzanian government publicly challenges recent CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera and DW reports on post-election violence, arguing that the coverage lacked balance, accuracy and the government’s right of reply. Government spokesperson Gerson Msigwa says the outlets used selective sourcing and heightened tension. He urges citizens to avoid divisive narratives and calls on foreign media to follow ethical standards. A three-month national inquiry is reviewing casualties, damage and missing persons.
