Burkina Faso expels French journalists from two newspapers.
Burkina Faso has expelled correspondents from Le Monde and Libération, the latest move the junta running the country has taken against French media. The authorities summoned the two journalists on Friday evening and gave them 24 hours to leave the country. The expulsions are the latest move against media from the former colonial power. Soldiers in Burkina Faso, one of the world’s poorest countries, staged two coups in 2022 over its failure to tackle the threat from jihadist groups.
