Burkina Faso's junta-led government has suspended the print and online operations of French news outlet Jeune Afrique in the country, accusing it of seeking to "discredit" the military. The publication has openly protested against the move, calling it "censorship from another age".
The government in Ouagadougou has suspended "all Jeune Afrique distribution media in Burkina Faso until further notice", its spokesman and communications minister Rimtalba Jean-Emmanuel Ouedraogo said in a statement on Monday.
