The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Yet again, the coup regime has outrageously suspended international media outlets for reporting on military misconduct allegations, clearly showing its willingness to suppress journalism carried out in the public interest. Burkinabe authorities must reverse this directive and refrain from censoring the press once and for all.

Establishment-critical narrative

Burkina Faso will continue to suspend international news outlets whenever they engage in efforts to meddle in the country's internal affairs and publish false reports of atrocities. It's unacceptable for foreign-based media to try to manipulate the nation with subversive propaganda.
