Authorities in Mali have ordered the withdrawal of French television France 2 from all audiovisual packages for four months. The High Authority for Communication criticizes the subject broadcast in January by France 2.
She accuses France 2 of engaging in “an apology for terrorism” by opposing “the firepower of armed terrorist groups” to that of the Malian armed forces. French forces withdrew in 2022 amid a serious deterioration in relations between Bamako and Paris after the double military coup of 2020 and 2021.
