Update: Niger's press freedom continues to deteriorate

RFI — French devotes a report to "An update on: In Niger, a growing deterioration in press freedom" and presents this element as the central development of the available information.

In Niger, there has been no news of Moussa Kaka for two weeks. The report also states that our colleague, whom you have heard about Nigerien news on our air for years, has not been seen since he left his office at Radio-télévision Saraounia (RTS) in Niamey on August 31. It was two days following the violent mutiny in Niamey. Several international NGOs are calling on the local authorities to shed light on his disappearance. Since the July 2023 coup, Niger has been regularly singled out for attacks on press freedom and a shrinking of civic space.
