Tanzania issues social media warning after video calls for military 'action'

The Tanzanian government has issued a warning regarding the use of social media after a video circulated online, in which a purported air force captain called for the military to "take action." The video, which has gone viral, features an individual identifying themselves as Captain Maanga, urging the military chief to intervene. The government has condemned the video, stating that it contains "false information" and represents an attempt to incite the public against the authorities. Authorities have warned that they will take legal action against individuals found to be spreading misinformation or inciting unrest through social media platforms. The incident highlights the ongoing tensions and concerns around the use of social media in Tanzania, where the government has previously taken measures to regulate online content and activities. The authorities have emphasized the need for citizens to be responsible and refrain from sharing or engaging with content that could potentially disrupt public order or undermine the country's stability.
