Regional newspaper The EastAfrican has been banned in Tanzania, 20 years after it began circulating in the country.
According to a letter sent to The EastAfrican bureau chief in Tanzania, the decision was taken because the paper "has been circulating in the country without having registration".
The management of the Nation Media Group (NMG), the company that owns The EastAfrican, described the decision as surprising and unwarranted.
