Burkina Faso: Media Executives Questioned Over Online Comments 22 March 2025 Tiffany Bright No comments Categories: General News In Burkina Faso, two online media outlets, Lefaso.net and Burkina24, were summoned by the Higher Council for Communication (CSC) after publishing content from a speech by transitional president Captain Ibrahim Traoré on their Facebook pages. Some comments under these posts were deemed malicious, discourteous, or insulting toward the president, prompting the CSC to question the media executives on March 18, 2025. The CSC is now reviewing the case, and a decision on possible sanctions or warnings will be made. Media regulators have urged the news platforms to moderate comments more strictly, while some journalists fear this move could lead to restrictions on public online discussions.
