Repression of Burkina Faso Media Continues With Ban

Burkina Faso's government continues to hone its nationalistic treatment of news and information, the RSF reports. The Superior Council for Communication (CSC), Burkina Faso's national communications regulator, banned the rebroadcasting of foreign radio programmes until further notice after suspending VOA for three months.

 

The Superior Council for Communication, Burkina Faso’s national communications regulator, has banned the rebroadcasting of foreign radio programmes until further notice and suspended the broadcasting of the US public media outlet Voice of America for three months. These decisions are yet another example of the junta’s desire to use every possible means to suppress any information that deviates from its narrative, writes RSF.
