Press Freedom Takes Hit in Sudan

 African Arguments published on 16 December 2021 a commentary titled "'Back to the Former Lies: Sudan Reverts to Media Repression Post-Coup" by Elzahraa Jadallah Khaled and Tom Rhodes.  

One of the first casualties of the 25 October military coup in Sudan was the country's new freedom of expression.  Independent media have been shut down, harassed and/or feel required to self-censor.  The government media prints nothing that is critical of the military.
