What is your source for the Radio Dabanga story? Contrary to your headline, the transcript says it is Sudan launching the stations AGAINST Radio Dabanga. I`d be surprised if they are really on SW instead of FM. 73, Glenn Hauser

 TRANSCRIPT:
Coming January, Sudan will launch ten shortwave radio stations in Darfur, and ten in South Kordofan
The new radio stations will present programmes in local dialects, to counter the broadcasts by Radio Dabanga, in an attempt to reduce its impact on the populations of those regions, especially in Darfur, Information Minister Ahmed Bilal Osman told Members of the national Parliament on Tuesday.
As for South Kordofan, the radio stations will aim to reach the Nuba people living in the rebel-controlled areas, the minister noted.

Sudanese MPs have criticised the performance of the official media before. They described it as âweak, and failing in the delivery of informationâ. On Tuesday, 25 November, the daily broadcasts by Radio Dabanga from the Netherlands were discussed in the parliament. Some MPs stressed the need âto disrupt the activity of Radio Dabanga, or completely stop itâ, and demanded from the Information Minister of State to develop a plan to at least reduce its impact.

Radio Dabanga broadcasts in shortwave to the whole of Sudan and neighbouring countries. Satellite broadcasts are confined to the larger cities.
