BURKINA FASO SUSPENDS FRANCE 24 BROADCASTS IN THE COUNTRY AFTER al-QAUDA INTERVIEW

Burkina Faso's military government on Monday suspended France 24 broadcasts in the country after the TV station aired an interview with the head of al Qaeda's North African wing AQIM.


Earlier this month France 24 aired an interview with Yezid Mebarek, also known as Abu Ubaydah Yusuf al-Anabi, who claimed the title of "emir of Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb" in 2020 after a French raid killed his predecessor.

Burkina Faso's minister of communication, Jean-Emmanuel Ouedraogo, in a statement, said by interviewing the head of AQIM, "France 24 is not only acting as a mouthpiece for these terrorists but worse, it is providing a space for the legitimization of terrorist actions and hate speech."
