[HIGHLIGHTS] Niger: “Attacks on press freedom concern us,” deplores a media official

In Niger, an order from the Ministry of the Interior suspends the activities of the Maison de la Presse. The transitional government set up after the coup d'état of July 26, 2023 will install new administrators at the head of this association.

For Ibrahim Harouna, president of the Press House, there is nothing that can justify this ban. He draws a parallel: “Everything that happened in Burkina Faso and Mali is what is being done here in Niger.”
