NEW York, July 15, 2005-Burundi’s National Communications Council has ordered the popular independent station Radio Publique Africaine off the air indefinitely, alleging that RPA’s recent election coverage was biased and that it had insulted the council. Alexis Sinduhije, RPA’s director, called the suspension unjust and said the station intended to stay on the air despite the order.
In a letter to the station, the council ordered RPA off the air as of 8 a.m. today local time, said Sinduhije, a 2004 recipient of the Committee to Protect Journalists’ International Press Freedom Award. The letter accused RPA of giving live coverage to the election campaigns of only two political parties out of some 30 that ran in the recent election, including the former rebel CNDD-FDD. It also accused RPA of having broadcast "defamatory, insulting, and offensive words" about the council, according to Agence France-Presse.
Burundi held municipal elections June 3 and parliamentary elections July 4, aimed at ending more than a decade of ethnic conflict and completing the country’s transition to democracy. Both sets of elections were won by the pro-Hutu CNDD-FDD, which outperformed the pro-Hutu FRODEBU party of the transition president, Domitien Ndayizeye.
