Could this ever happen in Kenya? The Tanzanian government has banned Local Media from broadcasting 'foreign made content', wait for it... without permission from the government and the relevant authorities.
Content and direct broadcasts from international media like BBC, VOA, DW etc will now be a thing of the past for Tanzanian media. Why lie, this is a very fishy law, an uneducated and vengeful decision too, based on only one visible fact.
That foreign media (Kenyan included) have been very vocal and critical about human rights abuses by the Tanzanian government and also its stifling of the opposition and silencing of the media.
We are living in very interesting times, welcome to East Africa's N. Korea. Crackdown on free press intensifies in Tanzania
