One week after the coup d'état in Niger, according to multiple sources on the ground, the broadcasting of RFI (Radio France Internationale) and FRANCE 24 have been interrupted in the country. France Médias Monde deplores this decision taken outside any conventional and legal framework, further depriving citizens in the region of their access to free and independent information.
This incident follows previous cases of censorship faced by RFI and FRANCE 24 in Mali and Burkina Faso in recent months. The group reaffirms its steadfast commitment to the freedom of information, and the safety of its journalists.
