After authorities said it was taken over by hackers late Tuesday, the police account posted pornographic images that later were deleted. The account also falsely announced the death of President Samia Suluhu Hassan.“We are searching for those spreading false information,” police said in a statement. The account of telecommunications company Airtel Tanzania was also hacked.Government spokesman Gerson Msigwa said Tanzania’s cyberspace is secure and called the attacks a minor incident. He urged citizens to remain calm.

“I assure you Tanzania is safe, and we will find those responsible,” he said.On Wednesday, X remained inaccessible within Tanzania for those not using a virtual private network. But users of VPNs without permission can face jail terms or fines.

Many politicians, intellectuals and critics in Tanzania express their opinions freely on X. But the government of Hassan, who is up for reelection in October, has sought to suppress online dissent.

Ahead of the election, fear is growing among government critics and opposition figures who allege government repression through legal processes and other means.Here are the highlights of what Trump lieutenants said last week vs. Sunday:

Long before launching his first presidential campaign in 2015, Trump bemoaned the offshoring of U.S. manufacturing. His promise is to reindustrialize the United States and eliminate trade deficits with other countries.Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, interviewed on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” played up national security. “You’ve got to realize this is a national security issue,” he said, raising the worst-case scenarios of what could happen if the U.S. were involved in a war.

“We don’t make medicine in this country anymore. We don’t make ships. We don’t have enough steel and aluminum to fight a battle, right?” he said.Lutnick stuck to that national security framing, but White House trade adviser Peter Navarro focused more on the import taxes being leverage in the bigger economic puzzle.
