 Guinea bans French broadcaster over description of President Doumbouya


Guinea's media regulator banned French media outlet France 24 from broadcasting in the country on Thursday, following comments it said were against the president.


Mamadi Doumbouya was elected president in December 2025, completing the return to civilian rule in the West African country following a coup in September 2021.


In a statement, the country's High Authority for Communication (HAC) cited the TV channel's "remarks deemed to undermine the dignity of the head of state, Mamady Doumbouya", AFP reported.


On Wednesday, the HAC issued a formal warning to France 24 for having "used an inappropriate term to refer to the head of state".


The description in question was made during a September 14 broadcast.


Apologise and correct


France 24 told AFP Wednesday that it intended to apologise and correct any offense.


Below the video with the remarks, a statement now reads that Doumbuya was "mistakenly labelled a putschist president".


The HAC also on Wednesday withdrew a press accreditation from the correspondent of the French-language Jeune Afrique news magazine, accusing the reporter of "professional misconduct" without further explanation.


France 24 has previously been banned in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger. The station is also not broadcast in Togo, where it was suspended for three months in 2025 and has not been reinstated.
