Le trasmissioni sudanesi sono altamente limitate e la tv e la radio di stato riflettono la politica del governo.
La stampa privata riporta le opinioni dell’opposizione, ma lo stato usa i suoi poteri per influenzare ciò che viene pubblicato.
Più di un quarto dei cittadini sudanesi è online, ma l’accesso può essere proibitivo. Activists have faced arrest for their social media activities.
