Bamako, Mali: Malian authorities on Thursday (Friday in Manila) suspended one of the country's main news channels for two months following criticism of the ruling junta by one of its star journalists.

In a decision seen by Agence France-Presse (AFP), the High Authority for Communication (HAC) argued that 'the grievances alleged against Joliba TV News constitute serious and repeated breaches and violations of the substantive provisions of the journalistic code of ethics in Mali'.
