Censorship or warning?

Burkina Faso ordered this Saturday "the immediate suspension and until further notice" of Radio France Internationale (RFI), accusing it in particular of having relayed a "message of intimidation" attributed to a "terrorist leader", announced Burkinabe government spokesman.

By having relayed this message, RFI "thus contributes to a desperate maneuver by terrorist groups to deter the thousands of Burkinabés mobilized for the defense of the Fatherland", indicates a press release signed by the spokesperson, Jean Emmanuel Ouedraogo.
