Guinean radio station ordered to close
Zaly Liberté FM, a privately-owned radio station based in N'Zérékoré, a district about 1,000 kilometres south of Conakry, the capital, was ordered to close down by the Minister of Communications, Togba Kpogomou, on 18 July 2013.
The Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA)'s monitor in the country reported that the minister's order came after a bloody clash between two local communities, Konianké and Guerzé, on 16 July 2013.
The MFWA stands in solidarity with the URTELGUI to condemn the closure of the radio station, which is a clear act to gag the media.
