Press freedom is respected in both law and practice. The press is free, diverse, and critical. Public and private radio and television provide a variety of views. Two private newspapers and political party journals express a range of views without government interference. Television is used as an effective campaign tool by all parties.

This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
