Mali’s junta suspended French channels TF1 and LCI for broadcasting unverified claims about fuel blockades and threats to Bamako.
Mali’s military junta suspended French TV channels TF1 and LCI on November 13, 2025, over broadcasts it deemed false, including claims that the junta banned fuel sales, that regions Kayes and Nioro were fully blockaded, and that militants were nearing the capital Bamako.
The High Authority for Communication cited unverified reporting from a November 9 broadcast.
The fuel blockade, imposed since September by the al-Qaeda-linked group JNIM, has caused severe shortages and long lines, prompting Western embassies to urge citizens to evacuate.
Mali, along with Niger and Burkina Faso, is under military rule following recent coups, but analysts say the Sahel region’s security has worsened, with rising violence and civilian casualties.
