"It's Your Radio, Your Voice"
Thousands Attend Opening Celebration of Southern Sudan Community Radio
Station
http://www.internews.org/prs/2009/20090223_sudan.shtm
[excerpt]
(February 23, 2009) When Naath FM, the only community radio station in Leer
County, Southern Sudan, was officially launched this week, thousands of
people came to honor and claim the station that has been a part of their
lives for the past year.
"I have never seen anything like this," said Deborah Ensor, Internews Sudan
Program Director. "There were literally thousands of people here, and they
were all trying to get into the studio. If you want to know what community
radio is all about, you simply must come to Leer."
Naath FM is one of four radio stations that Internews has built in the most
remote regions of Southern Sudan. Though the station has been on the air for
more than a year, officials and the community were eager to have it formally
opened and dedicated as a community radio station.
Appropriately enough, the station is called Naath FM – it means "Citizen" in
the local language of Nuer and was chosen after listeners called in and
suggested it.
