The statement said RFI on Saturday broadcast a message from a leader of a militant group in which he threatened the population.
State-owned Radio France Internationale usually referred to as RFI, did not immediately comment on this suspension. RFI Afrique radio has one of the largest footprints across French-speaking Africa. 219
