Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has partnered with over 500 community radio stations in the Sahel and neighboring countries, ranging from the Chadian city of Mongo to the Burkina Faso province of Soum, to advocate for the preservation of the right to local information. On September 24, this appeal was formally made at a press conference in Bamako, the capital of Mali, and it was aired in six languages on partner radio stations.
