Vodacom , Airtel and TTCL have restricted access to social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter ) amid escalating political tensions in Tanzania .

This shutdown takes place as authorities issue warnings about potential opposition party actions aimed at freeing political prisoners from police custody.

The timing of this move appears to be closely linked to a police alert warning of alleged plans by opposition parties to storm police stations and liberate political prisoners.
