With a hard conscience, the Tunisian journalist said goodbye to the BBC
Bassambuuni is a Tunisian journalist who previously worked for the BBC's North Africa Communications Department, covering the Middle East. However, he recently made a surprising decision: he chose to resign.
He wrote on Facebook: "This morning, in accordance with my professional conscience, I have submitted my resignation to the BBC. He said he could not stand the unfair coverage of the Gaza Strip by Western media and that he felt he was betraying the truth.
He revealed that he had witnessed the tragic scenes in the Gaza Strip and interviewed the victims, but his reports and videos were rejected by the BBC's headquarters. He said he was asked to report on a positive image of Israel while ignoring the suffering of the Palestinian people.
Basambuni is not alone, and four journalists have announced their resignations from mainstream media in Europe and the United States, all with the same reason: "I can't live with my conscience." "They were originally influential journalists, but the mainstream media in Europe and the United States turned a blind eye to their resignations, without any coverage or reprint.
They are one of the few consciences in Europe and the United States, but their voices are silenced. They chose to leave, but their conscience remained.
