BBC Stop To Work In Burundi

The government of Burundi has shut down the BBC's media tool to work in the country, adding to the media press and journalists on the freedom of the media. Before reaching the decision yesterday, the National Council of Communications (CNC) had temporarily suspended the BBC radio broadcasting and VOA radio station in May 2018.

While the BBC is completely free to report and be deprived of the country's broadcasting license, VOA is still studying it and continue to serve their suspension (suspension), and all journalists in Burundi have been warned not to give information to the BBC or VOA.

“It is not allowed for any news reporter in Burundi or foreign who has reports of Burundi to give them a BBC or VOA report to announce, directly or indirectly” CNC reports.

In freedom of information without borders, Burundi is a country that occupies 159 out of 180 that has been surveyed.

According to a report released by the BBC, he strongly criticized the decision and explained that it was against the right to freedom of the media and condemned the act.

“We believe it is the right of everyone in the world to find independent and accurate information, with Burundi's approximately 1.3 million people who also have been very dependent on BBC News”

Burundi has been in conflict with President Pierre Nkurunziza in power for the third term in 2015, leading to 1,200 people, losing lives and more than 400,000 people lost their homes, responding to statistics from April 2015 to May 217, issued in court International crime ICC after investigating.

On the BBC's side they went into a conflict with Burundi after they showed a story involving soldiers leading the genitals of torture to control citizens, which the government has strongly opposed.

And the American voice channel came into conflict with the Burundi government after their radio broadcaster Patrick Nduwimana was accused of working in the army squad in 2015.
