The West African nation of Nigeria has banned Twitter following Twitter’s censorship of a tweet by President Muhammadu Buhari.
In an act of censorship, Twitter deleted a tweet where Buhari called for strong action against a militant separatist organization advocating for an independent state in the region of Biafra. “Many of those misbehaving today are too young to be aware of the destruction and loss of lives that occurred during the Biafra war,” Buhari wrote on Twitter. “Those of us in the fields for 30 months, who went through the war, will treat them in the language they understand.”
Nigeria is not the only African country to take action against Twitter for interference in domestic politics. Previously, Uganda also banned Twitter, after the company attempted to influence the outcome of the country’s presidential election. In Asia, Myanmar has banned Twitter, while police raided Twitter’s headquarters in India.
