However, according to the reported information, he was subsequently elected President of the Republic in the presidential election of December 28, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The Guinean authorities therefore considered that continuing to use the term \u201ccoup president\u201d to refer to the incumbent president no longer reflected his institutional status resulting from that election. The HAC described this designation as an attack on the dignity of the head of state.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_formal_notice_from_the_High_Authority_for_Communication\"><\/span>The formal notice from the High Authority for Communication<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Following the segment in question, the HAC sent France 24 a formal notice. The authority instructed the channel to immediately stop using the disputed terms and to issue a correction across all of its editorial platforms.<\/p>\n<p>This request concerned both broadcasts and digital platforms. The authorities specifically expected the removal or correction of the online clip in which the Guinean president was described as a \u201ccoup president.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the timeline provided, the segment was broadcast on September 14. The HAC then intervened on September 16 and 17. At the time of the ban, the authorities considered that the disputed clip remained available and that the requirements of the formal notice had not been sufficiently met.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_ban_covering_all_means_of_distribution\"><\/span>A ban covering all means of distribution<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The HAC imposed an immediate ban on France 24 throughout Guinea. The measure applies to the various ways of accessing the channel, including satellite, cable, the internet, apps and social media.<\/p>\n<p>The decision also includes the withdrawal of accreditations for France 24 correspondents, special envoys and staff present in Guinea. The authorities therefore opted for a comprehensive measure covering both the distribution of the channel\u2019s programmes and its journalistic activities in the country.<\/p>\n<p>The authorities\u2019 position is based on the view that the channel had several days to correct the disputed remarks after receiving the formal notice. They concluded that the measures taken had not adequately addressed their initial request.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"France_24_acknowledges_an_error_and_apologises\"><\/span>France 24 acknowledges an error and apologises<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>France 24 subsequently issued a correction. The channel acknowledged that it had mistakenly described Mamadi Doumbouya as a \u201ccoup president.\u201d It noted that he had come to power through the September 2021 coup, while clarifying that he had since been elected President of the Republic in the December 2025 presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>The channel apologised on air and online. Its director, Vanessa Burggraf, also sent a letter to President Mamadi Doumbouya to offer an official apology, clarify that the wording was unintentional and request a review of the sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>However, these steps did not result in the ban being lifted. The Guinean authorities considered that the correction and apologies had come too late, after a formal notice which, in their view, had not been fully implemented.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_decision_within_a_regional_context\"><\/span>A decision within a regional context<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Guinean case is not presented as an isolated precedent on the continent. France 24 had already faced restrictions or bans in several African countries.<\/p>\n<p>In Mali, the channel was banned at the end of 2022 amid accusations of bias. In Burkina Faso, the authorities also challenged France 24\u2019s coverage of the national situation, which they considered biased.<\/p>\n<p>In Togo, a suspension imposed in June 2025 was justified by accusations of a lack of impartiality and the dissemination of information deemed inaccurate or biased. According to the available information, that suspension had not yet been lifted.<\/p>\n<p>In Guinea, the decision is specifically based on the vocabulary used in reference to President Mamadi Doumbouya and on the HAC\u2019s assessment of France 24\u2019s response to its formal notice.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ\"><\/span>FAQ<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_France_24_banned_throughout_Guinea\"><\/span>Is France 24 banned throughout Guinea?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes.
