As the international community marked World Press Freedom day Friday, Burkina Faso suspended a number of radio networks from operating in the country, including the Voice of America. Muthoki Mumo, Africa Program Coordinator for the Committee to Protect Journalists, tells VOA host Yeheyes Wuhib that this is a common practice in the region, when journalists cover security-related stories that governments do not like.
