Mali’s junta leader, Colonel Assimi Goïta, in September 2022.
Mali's ruling military junta has banned media coverage of political parties a day after suspending their activities.
This marks the latest crackdown on dissent in the West African nation.
Opposition voices have largely been stifled since the military seized power in a 2020 coup, overthrowing the civilian president.
Mali's high authority for communication issued a statement on Thursday, demanding that all media outlets halt broadcast and publication of the activities of political parties and any other activity of a political nature.
It did not indicate what would happen to media organisations that did not observe the ban.
