Why supporters of Burkina Faso’s junta leader are campaigning against a Sky News journalist

Supporters of Burkina Faso’s junta leader Captain Ibrahim Traoré are campaigning against Sky News journalist Yousra Elbagir. This campaign stems from Elbagir's reporting, which questioned security conditions and the repression of free speech within the country. The actions by Traoré's supporters constitute a smear campaign targeting a journalist for her critical reporting. This situation highlights ongoing concerns about press freedom and the treatment of journalists in Burkina Faso under the current junta.
