The recent move by Burkina Faso to suspend international broadcasters like the BBC and Voice of America is a troubling sign for anyone who values freedom of expression and the press. It's clear that the government is trying to control the narrative by silencing voices that report on sensitive issues, such as the alleged human rights abuses by the Burkinabe military. This isn't just about regulating foreign media; it's a direct attack on the ability of the people to access a variety of perspectives and make informed decisions. Governments should be held accountable for their actions, and a free press is crucial in ensuring that accountability.
