CONAKRY – The spokesman for the Guinean government, Ousmane Gaoual Diallo, responded this Thursday, November 30, 2023, to restrictions on access to social networks. The Minister of Posts, Telecommunications and Digital Economy was asked about the Council of Ministers on the sidelines of the traditional briefing and addressed this topic that is making headlines in the city. Explanations.
Restriction of social networks
“The Internet is not a law. It’s not cut, it works. Our country is connected only by a single submarine cable. We won’t repeat this every time there are problems. “We have to take certain positions,” explained the government spokesman.
According to Ousmane Gaoual Diallo, we praise press freedom every time a journalist is arrested or interrogated. “This is good because it is a freedom that is important in democracy, even in a country that is under construction. This freedom also includes responsibility. One doesn’t work without the other. We cannot claim freedom of expression without accepting the responsibility that comes with it.
When a citizen is charged in court, most media outlets conduct the trial in their studios during the day. It’s an outrage. If someone is accused, they are presumed innocent. We don’t comment on it. It is not the job of the press to judge justice. Judicial information is regulated…Together we will all develop this freedom, that everyone plays their role so that everything goes well, so that the citizen can have access to information in an objective way,” explained the government spokesman.
We’ll come back to it!
