Guinea: HAC withdraws accreditation from Jeune Afrique correspondent

On September 16, 2026, the High Authority for Communication (HAC) revoked the accreditation of Mamadou Diawo Barry, the correspondent for Jeune Afrique in Guinea, citing serious violations of ethical obligations. This decision, made without prior notice, prohibits the journalist from collecting or disseminating information on behalf of Jeune Afrique. The HAC justified this disciplinary action by repeated breaches of the ethical rules governing journalism in Guinea.
