 Burkina Faso bans French TV channel over 'disinformation'


Burkina Faso has banned French television channel TV5 Monde, accusing it of "disinformation" over its coverage of terrorism in the country and neighbouring Mali, the media regulatory authority announced on Tuesday.


TV5 Monde has already faced suspensions on two previous occasions, in April and June 2024.


The High Council for Communication made its latest decision on Tuesday, banning the broadcasting of programmes by TV5 Monde in the West African nation.


It followed "the observation of numerous breaches of the law, ethics and professional conduct in the handling of topics related to the fight against terrorism" in Burkina and relating to attacks late last month in Mali, council head Wendingoudi Louis Modeste Ouedraogo said in the statement, AFP reported.


'Disinformation, glorification of terrorism'


"The offences committed, which involve disinformation and the glorification of terrorism, were identified in several editions of the television news, from April to May 2026," he said.


TV5 Monde was also suspended in Mali in May last year until further notice, after the Malian government accused it of lacking impartiality in its coverage of an opposition protest.


It had already been suspended for three months the previous year.
