In The Sahel this week takes a closer look at Press and association freedoms under political transitions.
A better understanding and appreciation of the subject will be reached through the voices of experts and journalists on the ground in Mali, and Burkina Faso, a country attracting more attention not because of the increasing insecurity but for the drafting to the battlefield of public figures and journalists critical of the junta.
In some areas, journalists have been threatened with death, and the programming of some radio stations has been reorganized. Amid this dramatic development, the authorities of the Central Sahel are calling on media professionals to support the fight against terrorism.
