Explanations.
Restriction of social networks
“The Internet is not a right. It’s not cut, it works. Our country is only connected by a single submarine cable. We’re not going to repeat this every time there are problems. We have to take certain positions. declared the government spokesperson.
According to Ousmane Gaoual Diallo, each time a journalist is arrested or questioned, we brandish press freedom. » It’s good because it’s a freedom that is important in democracy, even in a country under construction. This freedom also concerns responsibility. One does not go without the other. We cannot claim freedom of expression without assuming the responsibility that goes with it.
Throughout the day, when a citizen is indicted by the courts, most media outlets conduct the trial in their studios. It is a scandal. When a person is charged, they are presumed innocent. We don’t comment on it. It is not the role of the press to judge justice. Judicial information is regulated… It is together that we will all develop this freedom, that everyone plays their role so that things go very well, so that the citizen can have access to information in an objective manner. explained the government spokesperson.
We will come back to it!
