The FMM group announces that it is studying all avenues of appeal so that such a decision is not implemented.

France Médias Monde reiterates its attachment to freedom of information and to the professional and balanced work of its teams of journalists.

Reaction also in Brussels from Nabila Massrali, the spokesperson for Josep Borrel, the head of European diplomacy.

We have seen the announcements made by the Malian government to suspend RFI and France 24. We consider this to be unacceptable.

We deplore this decision and the unfounded accusations by attacking the freedom of the press, the freedom to inform and to be informed.

The junta continues and confirms its headlong rush.
