The Tanzanian government has sharply criticized international media, particularly CNN, over their reporting of post-election events, labeling it biased and unverified. This comes after a CNN investigation by Kenyan correspondent Larry Madowo detailed alleged police shootings and mass graves.

• Tanzanian government spokesperson Gerson Msigwa accused international outlets of relying on social media without seeking government verification.
• The criticism targets a CNN investigation led by Larry Madowo, which reported alleged police brutality and unconfirmed mass graves following the elections.
• Madowo previously stated he was denied journalistic accreditation to report from Tanzania.
• Since the October 29 election, Tanzania has experienced unrest, with opposition leaders alleging electoral manipulation.
• Tanzanians have shown solidarity with Madowo through an online campaign, changing their profile pictures to his image.
