There is direct and indirect censorship, both political and military. Some articles may not be published and very few independent editors have the courage and tenacity to argue with the censors over rejected materials. Most exercise a high degree of self-censorship. C onsequently, the media landscape is not particularly diverse.
Most papers are partisan.
N onetheless, even in this difficult climate, exceptions can be found. Considering the circumstances, their achievements are all the more laudable. T he past training of politicians, the capacity building of NGOs and advice in organising elections were trivialised by the lack of freedom of expression.
