The tension between the West African country of Burkina Faso and France continues to increase.
Burkina Faso said it would indefinitely suspend France 24 news channel’s broadcast licence in the country in response to an interview the French state-owned channel aired with the leader of an al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group, SIA refers to foreign media.
France 24 broadcast an interview three weeks ago with Abu Ubaydah Yusuf al-Anabi, an Algerian national who heads al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), which has terrorised parts of the Sahel, a semi-arid strip of Africa that includes Burkina Faso, for almost a decade.
In January, the leadership of Ouedraogo issued a note to France to withdraw its troops from the country. The French channel has previously broadcast programs supporting the terrorist organization PKK.
