Serikali kupitia Baraza na Mawasiliano la Taifa(CNC) imezuia matangazo ya Shirika la habari la nchini Uingereza(BBC) na Redio za Shirika la Habari la nchini Marekani(VOA) mpaka hapo itakapotangazwa vinginevyo
Inaelezwa kuwa sababu kubwa ya kufungiwa kwa matangazo ya Mashirika hayo ni kutokana na Serikali ya Burudi kuvishutumu kutoheshimu sheria na kutokuwa na utashi wa Kiuandishi
CNC imesema "Kuzuiliwa kutangaza kwa VOA kunaendelea hadi itakapotangazwa vinginevyo, hivyo basi ni marufuku Mwanahabari yeyote raia wa Burundi au Mgeni anayeishi Burundi kuripoti kwa VOA(Voice of America)
BBC inashutumiwa kwa kuongeza mafuta kwenye video inayoonesha ukiukwaji mkubwa wa haki za binadamu ukifanywa na Afisa Usalama wa Burundi, video ambayo Serikali imesema kwa kiasi kikubwa imetengenezwa
Aidha, VOA inashutumiwa kwa kuendelea kuajiri Wanahabari ambao Serikali iliwakataza wasiwaajiri kwani Wanhabari hao natakiwa kujibu mashtaka yao ya kudaiwa kuhusika katika vurugu za uchaguzi zilizotokea mwaka 2015

The Burundi National Communication Council, CNC, has issued a communinqué reiterating the suspension of the British Broadcasting Company(BBC) and Voice of America(VOA) radios to broadcast in Burundi ‘until further notice’.
The CNC has said in its statement issued on March 29, 2019: “The suspension of the VOA is maintained until further order…therefore, it is forbidden for any journalist, either Burundian or foreigner living in Burundi to report directly or indirectly to the Voice of America”.
The same stern statement was issued by the National Communication Council for the BBC, thus ‘forbidding any journalist to report for BBC while in Burundi’.
THE BIG PICTURE: The government of Burundi had announced the temporary suspension for six months of these international radios, accusing them of ‘lack of professionalism in their journalism‘.
Nevertheless, after these six months ban, the restrictions on these international broadcasters have not been removed, Burundi citing ‘recidivism’ or ‘relapse in error’ by the BBC and VOA.
The Britsih Broadcasting Company was re-accused of ‘adding fuel to the fire’ by broadcasting controversial footage showing the ‘alleged gross violations of human rights in Burundi by intelligence officers’. Burundi government ‘brushed aside this BBC footage, claiming that it was a ‘mere fabricated story’.
Then, BBC has seen its permission to rebroadcast in Burundi being suspended ‘until further order’ by Burundi governement.
Same as the VOA, Burundi accused this international radio of ’employing Burundian journalists which are sought by Burundi justice to answer for their ‘probable participation in the 2015 attempted coup’.
Burundi has told VOA to cease employing these journalists and then resume its activities and rebroadcast in Burundi.
After considering that VOA did not abide by the rules to sack the wanted journalists, Burundi has taken the decision to maintain the ban of VOA broadcasting in Burundi ‘until further order’.
