"The suspension of Radio Hot Cocoa is part of an ongoing effort to stifle coverage of the grievances of English-speaking Cameroonians," said CPJ West Africa Representative Peter Nkanga. "Authorities should allow the radio station to resume operations immediately and should cease censoring the news." "Right now there is no access to my office, the studio and control room," Taka, the station's manager, told CPJ. The suspension of Radio Hot Cocoa is the latest in a series of attempts to stifle reporting and commentary on the political crisis.
