Concerns over missing journalist

A Tanzanian journalist who reported on a string of murders of officials and police has been missing for the past two weeks, the two newspapers he works for have noted. Azory Gwanda, a reporter for the Mwananchi and The Citizen newspapers, wrote several articles investigating attacks in Kibiti district in Pwani province, which surrounds Tanzania's main city of Dar es Salaam. A SowetanLIVE report notes that about 20 police officers and local administrative officials have been killed by mystery motorcycle attackers. Police say they have now broken up the gang of motorcycle assassins.
