Following an interview that was deemed "insulting" to the new military commanders in Niger, the junta-led government of Burkina Faso has suspended Radio Omega. After the announcement was released, the station, which was a part of the Omega media empire controlled by journalist and former foreign minister Alpha Barry, stopped airing programmes. According to Radio Omega, the judgement is "a blatant violation of current laws and an intolerable attack on freedom of expression and freedom of the press."
