3 days agoRSF urges Niger to ditch 'abusive' French media ban
Niger suspended nine major French media outlets, citing threats to public order and troop morale without providing examples or evidence.
Eleven Nigerian military personnel are reportedly still in Burkina Faso days after their plane made an unauthorised landing in the south-west city of Bobo Dioulasso, despite earlier suggestions they had been freed, deepening confusion about the diplomatic standoff. Burkinabe authorities told the BBC on Tuesday that the troops had been released and given permission to return to Nigeria, but officials in Abuja have said the matter is yet to be resolved.
