Burundi

Your Complete Guide to the Media of Burundi

This is your definitive and comprehensive directory for all publicly viewable newspapers, press agencies, and news portals in Burundi. The nation's media landscape is complex and has been profoundly shaped by its history, particularly the events since 2015, which led many independent journalists into exile. As a result, Burundi's press is a mix of official state-run media, resilient domestic independent outlets, and influential media operating from abroad. This guide provides direct access to every key source, offering a full spectrum of perspectives on the "actualités" (news) and "informations" from Bujumbura and across the country.
