Morocco’s government approved draft Law No. 26.25 on Thursday to restructure the National Press Council, reinforcing its independence and role in self-regulating the journalism sector, Morocco’s Press Agency (MAP) reported.
Minister of Youth, Culture and Communication Mohammed Mehdi Bensaid presented the draft during the weekly Cabinet meeting, which was followed by a press briefing led by Government spokesperson Mustapha Baitas.
Baitas explained that the draft law aligns the council’s organisation with constitutional principles related to freedom of expression and press self-regulation, particularly articles 25, 27, and 28 of the Moroccan Constitution. The Bill also builds on the findings of the temporary committee tasked with managing the press and publishing sector under Law No. 15.23.
The government intends to ensure the Council continues its mission of overseeing journalism ethics and strengthening the sector through independent and democratic governance.
Baitas added that the new draft law seeks to preserve the progress achieved under Law No. 90.13, implemented in 2016, while maintaining the council’s professional and independent nature. The law confirms the council’s core responsibilities, especially its authority to regulate the press and publishing industry.
Closing remarks: African Union (AU) media training on Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEA) reporting
Mbabane, Eswatini
Ladies and gentlemen, over the past three days of engagement, you have gone beyond mere tradition to help build essential capacity for the media.
This sterling effort aims to empower media stakeholders to report more effectively on complex issues of MEA to create a cadre of skilled media practitioners. Their goal is to amplify Africa’s voice both internally and externally.
You boldly stated that deliberate efforts to build, strengthen, and position the media in our continent unlock the best in the collective when tackling highly complex problems, most cost-effectively and efficiently.
Therefore, this workshop is testament to the quality and depth of skill sets and intellectual talent that are endowed within us as a collective, considering how they were effectively and discharged to answer the complex questions that confront the continent at large.
This is particularly true regarding the influence and importance of MEA on Africa, which is striving for an ambitious yet daring Agenda 2063 and seeks agency in shaping global debates and agreements of this intricate nature.
The Herald in Zimbabwe also covered this event. Read Phyllis Kachere’s story here in which she quotes Norah Kendeli Mugita, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) project officer for the Regional Office for Africa, saying: ‘These Agreements set the global rules for conserving biodiversity, restoring degraded lands, managing chemicals and plastics, and safeguarding our oceans. Yet without clear, compelling stories reaching policymakers and citizens alike, the ambition of COP decisions can too easily remain in the conference room rather than on the ground.’
o the best of the minds and abilities in this room, complex questions were raised and adequately addressed. At the same time, outstanding issues will easily be resolved through the network established in this regard.
It is my sincere hope and confidence that this engagement marks the beginning of a long and structured journey towards building an army that responds to the call for breaking dominant, yet biased narratives, and articulates our own views and realities concerning the MEA.
At MISA, we value strategic collaborations of this kind and are prepared to pursue the journey together, where the media continues to serve as a vital institution of record and a vibrant marketplace of ideas.
On that note, we are grateful to the AU Commission for its collaborative efforts and remain committed as a strategic resource towards this initiative and beyond.
The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) – the regulatory agency for the information, communications and technology industry – backed down on 26 June from its controversial directive to stop media houses from providing live coverage of the anti-government demonstrations in Kenya.
The International Federation of journalists (IFJ) joins its affiliate, the Kenya Union of Journalists (KUJ), and media organisations at the international level in welcoming this decision that upholds the fundamental right of citizens to seek, receive and share information.
On 25 June, the CA issued a directive ordering television and radio stations to stop the live broadcasting of anti-government protests, citing ‘national security and public order concerns’. Some media houses, which were broadcasting the demonstrations live, were taken off air by the regulatory agency.
Following the CA’s directive, the Media Sector Working Group stated that the move was a clear breach of Article 34 of the Kenyan Constitution, as well as of a recent High Court judgment safeguarding media independence. ‘We are perturbed by the consistent violation of the Constitution and court decisions by the Communication Authority of Kenya (CA),’ noted a statement by the court.
The coalition of media organisations warned that the CA’s directive not only threatens the sustainability of responsible journalism, but also attempts to erode the media’s responsibility in a landscape where reporting is protected and not undermined by political pressures
‘It is for this reason that we are calling upon all media houses to defy this directive and continue with their normal programing without fear.”
According to local media reports, in a letter dated 26 June and addressed to all licensed broadcasters, the director general of the CA, David Mugonyi, confirmed that the directive was being lifted with immediate effect.
The reports also indicated that a court ruling, by Justice Chacha Mwita, suspended the CA’s directive. The ruling said that the directive ‘raised significant constitutional concerns regarding media freedom and public access to information’. The court decision also ordered all broadcasting signals to be restored nationwide with immediate effect.
During the course of anti-government protests in eKenya, media reports indicated that at least 16 people have been killed and 400 injured. Journalist Ruth Sarmwei of NTV Kenya was hit by a rubber bullet. The KUJ, together with the members of the Media Sector Working Group, condemned the attack and urged the security forces to respect the rights of journalists and citizens alike.
IFJ General Secretary Anthony Bellanger welcomed the uplifting of the ban on live media coverage, calling it a victory for media freedom and respect for the rule of law.
‘The directive was illegal in the first place, as it undermined media freedom and the citizen’s right to receive and seek information, as enshrined in the Kenyan Constitution’
‘The media must be allowed to carry out its duties, without any form of fear or intimidation from government institutions or the security forces. Journalists and media workers must be allowed to fulfil their professional duties and keep reporting on issues in the public interest.
‘The IFJ condemns in the strongest terms the shooting of Sarmwei. It also calls on the Kenyan authorities to take all necessary measures to guarantee the safety of journalists covering the demonstrations, and to prosecute security officials who attack media workers.’
The South African National Editors’ Forum (SANEF) has held its non-elective Annual General Meeting (AGM) at which various issues – from the training and development of journalists to mental wellness and the upcoming Media20 (M20) Summit to the important role of the Press Council of South Africa – were discussed.
Also discussed at the 25 June meeting was the long-awaited media engagement between President Cyril Ramaphosa and the broader media in South Africa.
The AGM was unequivocal in its position that all media entities must be members of the Press Council and/or the Broadcasting Complaints Commission of SA (BCCSA). This has always been SANEF’s position, as it abides by the ethical codes set out by these industry bodies.
With the Competition Commission favouring the establishment of a country fund to support journalism, SANEF reiterates its position that no media house should be considered for any possible funding if they do not defer to the guidance of these reputable industry bodies that uphold journalism standards and ethics
SANEF also noted the release, in June, of the Print and Digital Media Transformation report. While the report marks an important intervention, it however does not include the broadcast media in the country.
The exclusion of the broadcast media is unfortunate and makes it difficult to engage with the report, as the entire media landscape – and not just print and digital reporting publications – is facing challenges of sustainability. SANEF is looking to further engage with the GCIS on the report.
With regards to the report, SANEF welcomes and supports the recommendation that only those who belong to the Press Council and BCCSA must be considered for any funds intended for the revitalisation of the media in South Africa.
The AGM noted the progressive meeting between SANEF leadership and Kenny Morolong, the Deputy Minister in the Presidency, following the organisation’s criticism of the government and the Presidency’s attitude towards the South African media.
The meeting was also briefed on Morolong’s feedback at a recent media engagement event at which he had communicated SANEF’s call on Ramaphosa to have a direct engagement with the broader South African media, as he last took questions from the media in 2020. The ball is now in the President’s court
The AGM resolved that more funds need to be raised for the continuous training of journalists. The training should be on areas such as financial journalism, mental wellness, indigenous languages reporting, and other specialised beats such as health and education.
An institution of higher learning will be sought, with the view of partnering to provide such training and improvement of skills in newsrooms, given the massive skills deficit in most newsrooms due to the well-documented sustainability challenges of the media sector.
SANEF and Media Monitoring Africa, through the support of partners such as Brand SA and Standard Bank, have made significant progress regarding the preparations for the Media 20 (M20). The M20 is an independent initiative by the media and involves a series of media events that will take place parallel to the G20.
An international media summit has been planned for September, and numerous international media organisations have come on board to support the M20 efforts in South Africa
There will be several policy issue papers that will be released, and more information can be found here. The work continues to focus on areas such as the role of AI in journalism, intellectual property, children in the media, and information integrity. The safety of journalists is also a topic for the M20.
When people have exhausted Meta’s appeals process on Facebook, Instagram or Threads, they can challenge the company’s decision on a piece of content by appealing to the Oversight Board. Meta can also refer cases to us.
Once we have selected a case, our Board Members examine whether Meta’s decision to remove or leave up content was in line with its policies, values and human rights commitments.
While we refer to Meta’s content policies and values as we consider cases, we sometimes question those policies when we believe they do not comply with Meta’s own commitment to protecting freedom of expression and other human rights.
Today, the Board is announcing a new case for consideration. As part of this, we invite people and organisations to submit public comments.
Case selection
As we cannot hear every appeal, the Board prioritises cases that have the potential to affect lots of users around the world, are of critical importance to public discourse or raise important questions about Meta’s policies.
The case we are announcing today is:
Reporting on Somaliland Current Affairs
A user appeal to restore content
To read this announcement in Somali, click here.
Si aad u akhrido ogeysiiskan af Soomaali, guji halkan.
In January 2025, four posts in Somali were published on a Facebook page, discussing Somaliland politics. Somaliland self-declared its independence from Somalia in 1991. No country has recognised its statehood.
The Facebook page describes itself as belonging to freelance journalism and has about 90 000 followers. It is not part of Meta’s cross-check programme to prevent enforcement errors, that also includes additional levels of review for certain entities, including journalistic and civic entities.
The four posts describe and discuss recent socio-political events concerning Somaliland.
Two of the posts are about Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdillahi’s recent foreign policy engagements. The posts include photos of a foreign trip with captions stating that media coverage was prohibited
Two other posts relate to a public, official ceremony in Somaliland and a political conference, with descriptive captions.
Two users reported the page under Dangerous Organisations and Individuals and Hateful Conduct policies, and it was enqueued for a review. When a page is enqueued for review, Meta evaluates key elements of the page, such its name, bio details and cover photo, and its posts.
A human reviewer found the page violated the Hateful Conduct policy and it was ‘unpublished’ (a measure similar to account deactivation). None of the four posts were reported, but each was removed for individually violating the Hateful Conduct policy.
After the Board selected the cases, the company reviewed its initial decision to unpublish this page and also determined that it incorrectly removed all four posts. Consequently, Meta restored all posts, re-published the page and reversed the strike against the posting user’s account and page.
In their appeal to the Board, the posting user stated that their intention was to share information, not to attack or discriminate against any individual or group and that their posts did not violate the Hateful Conduct policy
The Board selected these enforcement errors to examine the impacts of Meta’s moderation on media freedom in the Horn of Africa, in the context of its approach to the governance of pages.
These cases fall within the Board’s Elections and Civic Space priority.
The Board would appreciate public comments that address:
media freedom and safety of journalists in Somaliland, the role of social media and the situation for freedom of expression
challenges in preventing wrongful enforcement against journalistic content, pages and accounts, especially in non-English speaking regions where freedom of expression is heavily restricted, and
good practices for ensuring access to adequate remedies for journalists and media organisations locked out of pages or accounts as a result of wrongful enforcement
In its decisions, the Board can issue policy recommendations to Meta. While recommendations are not binding, Meta must respond to them within 60 days. As such, the Board welcomes public comments proposing recommendations that are relevant to these cases.

We are particularly grateful that the Minister of Information and Media Cornelius Mweetwa, officiated the launch and gave his full support towards media self-regulation. We further commend the Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema for supporting media self-regulation, which is one of the cornerstones of media freedom.
The MSCZ not only establishes a platform for the Zambian public to hold the media accountable but also presents an opportunity for the media to enhance their professionalism
Non-statutory regulation of the media is an international best practice that preserves media autonomy, while promoting media accountability.
Ultimately, MISA Regional Office congratulates the media in Zambia and the Zambian government on establishing the self-regulation mechanism.
The MISA Regional office is pleased that the Zambian government has heeded the calls for media self-regulation and recognised its importance to media autonomy.
Catholic media practitioners in Kenya have been challenged to actively contribute to shaping messages in today’s world, especially in the face of growing moral and social challenges.
‘Whether it is through conversations in our homes, messages we share on WhatsApp, stories we hear on the radio, or posts on social media, each of us has a role in shaping the message of our time,’ Omwoyo said in the message that Christine Nguku, the Assistant Director in charge of Training and Curriculum Development at the MCK, delivered on his behalf at the event held at St Patrick’s Thika Parish of ADN.
Omwoyo encouraged media practitioners to remain focused on their sacred calling amid challenges such as corruption, tribalism, misinformation, economic hardship and even despair among the youth.
‘Even in these struggles, the Lord calls us to be messengers of hope, not fear; witnesses of truth, not gossip; builders of peace, not division’
Referring to the late Pope Francis’ 57th WCD message in 2023 titled, ‘Speaking with the heart: the truth in love (Eph 4:15)’, the MCK CEO called upon members of the Catholic media network Nairobi to foster ‘heart to heart’ communication.
The late Pope Francis, he said, ‘reminds us that communication should be heart to heart’. ‘He encourages us to be artisans of peace – people who speak and write in ways that bring healing, build understanding, and reflect God’s mercy.’
Omwoyo, who was the national Executive Secretary of the Communications Commission of the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) before moving on to MCK, encouraged Catholic media practitioners in the East African nation to strive to communicate hope in what he described as ‘speaking the truth with love’.
He cautioned against the sharing of fake news or divisive messages, be it in families, workplaces, or online, and instead focus on ‘telling the stories of faith in our parishes and villages-stories of young people choosing virtue, families staying strong, and communities coming together in service’
Omwoyo encouraged media practitioners to communicate hope through listening particularly to those ‘who feel forgotten, our youth, the poor, the sick and the elderly’.
He urged Catholic journalists to reflect Christ in their tone, their intentions, and in their witness ‘so that people encounter not just our words, but His love through us’. ‘As Kenyans, we are a people of resilience, song, and strong community. Let us use our voices both in speech and online, not to tear down, but to build up the Body of Christ.’
He added, ‘May our words bring light where there is darkness, joy where there is sorrow, and hope where there is doubt.’ ‘Let us go forth and communicate, not just with our mouths, but with our hearts, our actions, and our faith.’
Pope Paul VI established the WCD in 1967 as an annual celebration to reflect on the opportunities and challenges that modern means of social communication accord the Church to communicate the gospel message to all the ends of the earth
Since then, the Church observes WCD on the Sunday before Pentecost Sunday. Marked this year on 1 June, coinciding with the Solemnity of the Ascension of Jesus Christ, the 59th WCD was realised under the theme, ‘Share with gentleness the hope that is in your hearts’.
The Oversight Board has overturned Meta in three out of four cases that demonstrate the disproportionate impacts of the Adult Nudity and Sexual Activity policy on users who share images of bare-chested indigenous women, when such nudity is part of the Indigenous Peoples’ beliefs and customs. It has also upheld a decision to leave up content in a third case due to the newsworthiness allowance.
Meta’s complete prohibition on posting images of bare-chested indigenous women in non-sexual contexts, along with granting ad hoc exceptions, does not result in necessary and proportionate restrictions on expression.
Rather, users’ right to expression, including that of Indigenous Peoples for whom such nudity is part of their culture, is disproportionately restricted.
Meta should make public its Adult Nudity and Sexual Activity policy exception allowing content depicting bare-chested indigenous women in some circumstances, when such nudity reflects socially accepted custom and belief, and does not misrepresent these practices
The Board has reviewed four cases with imagery showing bare-chested indigenous women in non-sexual contexts.
In the first case, an Instagram user posted an image in July 2024 featuring two bare-breasted women in the traditional attire of the Himba people of Namibia. The post includes an English quote and caption referencing the Himba.
The user appears to be a visitor or tourist, rather than Himba. An automated nudity and pornography classifier removed it. The user appealed the removal. Following a human review, Meta confirmed its decision.
The second case involves an Instagram user posting a short video in July 2024 featuring a Himba man dancing, with bare-chested women in traditional Himba attire in the background. The caption includes references to Himba people and culture. After automated and human reviews, Meta removed the content.
In the third case, a Brazilian political party’s official Instagram account in March 2023 posted an image of bare-chested indigenous women in traditional Yanomami clothing. The accompanying text praises government efforts to combat illegal mining on Yanomami lands.
A user reported the post and a classifier identified it before a human reviewer removed it for violating the Adult Nudity and Sexual Activity policy. The posting user appealed via a personal contact at Meta. Meta restored it under the newsworthiness allowance, finding the content’s public interest value outweighed the harm, with a newsworthy label.
In September 2024, Meta referred the case to the Board.
In the fourth case, the administrator of a German newspaper’s Facebook page posted an image in May 2023 of a bare-chested indigenous woman holding a child. The caption and text overlay in German describe an American journalist’s visit to a Mayan village and her perspectives on different cultures’ parenting approaches, and the post links to an article.
The image of the indigenous woman seems to belong to a photo agency, appearing in online collections of the Karo people of Ethiopia.
A user reported the content to Meta and two human reviewers agreed it violated the Adult Nudity and Sexual Activity policy.
As this account is in the cross-check programme, the post was sent for additional review. Meta then determined the content should receive a spirit of the policy allowance and remain on Facebook, as, even though it violated Meta’s nudity rules, keeping it up was in line with the policy rationale.
Meta referred the case to the Board in September 2024.
Key findings
While Meta prohibits images of indigenous women with ‘visible female nipples’ in non-sexual contexts, it sometimes allows this content via the spirit of the policy and newsworthiness allowances.
In the Yanomami post, Meta was right to keep this post up as newsworthy content due to its public interest value and limited risk of harm. The Yanomami have a social and cultural practice of bare-chested nudity and in the image there are indicators of consent.
Regarding the two Himba posts, the Board finds that Meta was wrong not to apply a spirit of the policy allowance. Meta did not follow its own exception guidelines concerning implicit consent in the context of indigenous nudity which focus on whether bare-chested nudity forms part of the beliefs and customs of an Indigenous People and are socially accepted.
Nudity is a socially and historically accepted aspect of Himba custom, and both posts show sufficient indications of implicit consent to being photographed or recorded to justify the allowance
In the Maya/Karo post, the majority of the Board finds that the fact that the image was shared by a news outlet is not a decisive factor in establishing consent. In this case, there is a clear disparity between the subject of the article (Mayan peoples) and the individual in the image (a Karo woman).
The content, focused on parenting practices in Mayan cultures, does not relate to a social or historical tradition of nudity. Allowing the content to remain on the platform is therefore inconsistent with Meta’s policy rationale.
A minority of the Board disagrees, finding that Meta made the right decision to keep the post up, as the nudity in the image aligns with the cultural norms of the depicted indigenous group. For the minority, the disparity between images was a minor mistake that does not diminish the public interest in the post.
Removing the Himba posts and keeping the Maya/Karo post up was also inconsistent with Meta’s human rights responsibilities. Meta’s complete prohibition on posting images of bare-chested indigenous women in non-sexual contexts and granting ad hoc exceptions disproportionately restricts expression.
It disproportionately impacts indigenous women’s right to self-expression and sharing information about cultural practices, and restricts others’ access to that information. The Board underscores the importance of representing indigenous cultures in ways that avoid distortion or decontextualisation
The Board is concerned that the spirit of the policy and newsworthiness allowances have significant limitations of accessibility and predictability. Therefore, it believes a clearly defined exception is preferable.
The Board considers that Meta could develop internal guidelines to assist at-scale reviewers to escalate indigenous nudity content that could potentially benefit from such exceptions, using objective criteria, such as relevant hashtags or visual clues including cultural symbols.
The Oversight Board’s decision
The Board overturns Meta’s decision to take down the two Himba women and Himba people dancing cases. The Board also overturns Meta’s decision to leave up the Maya/Karo case. The Board upholds Meta’s decision to leave up the Yanomami case.
The Board also recommends that Meta:
Make public its Adult Nudity and Sexual Activity policy exception allowing content depicting bare-chested indigenous women in some circumstances. This exception should be applied on escalation only. The exception should allow such nudity where it reflects socially accepted custom and belief, and does not misrepresent these practices.
The Network of Independent Media Councils in Africa (NIMCA) was formed on Thursday 16 May 2024 after the inaugural meeting of African media councils convened by the Press Council of South Africa in Cape Town, South Africa.
Thirteen councils from east, west and southern Africa resolved to establish the new body to bring together independent media content regulators from around the continent, and to convene regularly to discuss the strengthening of media freedom, ethics and public accountability on the continent.
NIMCA calls on independent media regulators in other African countries to join the new organisation to promote self-regulation as the cornerstone of a free, professional and credible media in an evolving communications landscape where social media is implicated in the circulation of unethical and low-quality content.
NIMCA’s objective is for the professional media to report freely and without fear of reprisals while at the same time being accountable for living up to journalistic ethical standards and codes of practice
The Cape Town meeting agreed that the media, irrespective of whether it is privately or government funded, needs to operate in a free environment with no threats of censorship, intimidation, harassment or threats against journalists.
This is because independent and professional journalism is a critical pillar of society that holds governments and other powerful actors accountable, informs the citizenry and help them understand their societies and events as they unfold.
The African media councils met during Africa Month and shortly after World Press Freedom Day and deliberated on a range of issues, from the governance of digital platforms and companies, through to developing a pan-African media ethics framework and ethos, along with UNESCO’s principles for a communications regulatory system that works to foster ethical and credible journalism.
The regulators emphasised that in jurisdictions where co-regulation is constitutionally stipulated, media councils and similar bodies must be allowed to self-regulate and act independently from government.
They agreed that trust in and credibility of the media is vital for its survival, and that self-regulatory mechanisms are key to uphold professional standards and consider complaints where media fall short of meeting these
Delegates also highlighted the issue of gender equity and sensitivity in the composition of regulatory bodies. The NIMCA executive body will in future be formed with equal representation of men and women.
Delegates from the media councils shared their best practices and challenges about press freedom, as well as how to foster ethical journalism in an environment where the media and its regulatory bodies face a crisis of funding and sustainability.
In a fast-changing digital environment, the media regulatory bodies noted that they need to provide guidance on how media should deal with ethical issues related to the emergence of AI, convergence, and the need for new journalism curricula and training models.
Delegates highlighted the risks of social media being treated as a news source by the public, although this environment lacks effective quality standards and ethics, and where trustworthy content and journalism are increasingly hard to find.
The media councils recognised the importance of exploring new financial support models for the media, in order to promote, support and sustain journalism and the related independent self-regulation mechanisms in the industry.
The councils urged journalists, photographers and other media practitioners to uphold the basic tenets of journalism in order to fend off state regulation and punitive measures by those in positions of power
They also commented on developments in Zambia and welcomed the commitment by the Zambian government to encourage media self-regulation as opposed to state regulation, and urged other countries to repeal repressive laws and policies gagging the media and ensure and promote media freedom.
In the case of Eswatini, where the government has warned that it may consider statutory regulation, delegates urged stakeholders to vigorously pursue a path towards self-regulation.
Delegates from UNESCO also participated in the meeting and reaffirmed the organisation’s commitment to support and collaborate with African media councils in advocating for freedom of expression, universal access to verified information and safety of journalists and media professionals in line with regional and internationally agreed goals and frameworks.
They will form the inaugural executive board of NIMCA to set up the organisation.
The MCT will host the 2025 NIMCA meeting, with support from UNESCO and the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, and will also act as the initial secretariat for NIMCA.
Sungura, the first NIMCA Chair, said, ‘This is an important day for our media sector and eco-system’: ‘For too long our media councils have operated in silos with little engagement or information sharing.’
‘In a world that is increasingly connected, but also fracturing into echo chambers, NIMCA heralds a new era for building common approaches, deepening media freedom, foster stronger accountability systems and support credible, sustainable journalism across our continent.’
