Mali’s ruling junta intensified its crackdown by banning the media from reporting on political parties’ and associations’ activities. The move follows the suspension of all political activities in the country until further notice.

Questions linger regarding whether journalists can still cover topics like the economy, closely linked to politics, and who will oversee their work.
