The government of Burundi has shut down the BBC's media tool to work in the country, adding to the media press and journalists on the freedom of the media. Before reaching the decision yesterday, the National Council of Communications (CNC) had temporarily suspended the BBC radio broadcasting and VOA radio station in May 2018.

According to a report released by the BBC, he strongly criticized the decision and explained that it was against the right to freedom of the media and condemned the act.
