Mali Suspends French Channels Over Fuel Blockade Report

Malis ruling military government suspends French TV channels over fuel blockade reports, citing unverified claims and falsehoods. The regulatory body disputes three parts of the broadcast, including claims of fuel sales ban, complete blockade of Kayes and Nioro, and terrorists proximity to Bamako. The suspension comes as JNIM enforces a fuel blockade, causing severe shortages and worsening security. Analysts suggest the security situation has deteriorated since the juntas came into power, with a record number of attacks and civilian casualties. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
