[creative-radio] Resource: “The Growing Pains of Community Radio in Africa: Emerging Lessons Towards Sustainability” by Peter da Costa

Resource: "The Growing Pains of Community Radio in Africa: Emerging Lessons
Towards Sustainability" by Peter da Costa

This 14-page study discusses community radio as a strategy for deepening
participation and community ownership. According to the author, evidence
suggests that beyond empowering communities, community radio can catalyse
behaviour change and impact positively on wider development outcomes. In
practice, the record has been mixed, with sustainability a critical
challenge. Only in a handful of cases have previously aid-dependent radio
stations become sustainable.

The report explains that community radio has grown exponentially in Africa
and elsewhere and is harnessed in many ways by different social actors.
Yet, the proliferation of radio stations, particularly since the airwaves
began to be liberalised in the 1990s, represents both progress and
challenge.

The study outlines several lessons to be learned from experiences and
studies in community radio. First, what emerges is a negative correlation
between excessive dependence on external funding and sustainability. A
central coordination mechanism that provides technical support and delivers
capacity building in key areas of need is also essential and more needs to
be invested in such service centres. It is further argued that ultimately,
sustainability transcends the financial to include 'social' and
'institutional' dimensions. While all three are mutually reinforcing, each
represent critical pillars around which communities must build and grow
their radio stations if these are to endure as vehicles of social change.

[creative-radio] MESSAGES FROM THE REFUGEE PROTEST CAMP ORANIENPLATZ TO THE UNHCR IN BERLIN

 

[Off topic, but approved by moderator]

MESSAGES FROM THE REFUGEE PROTEST CAMP ORANIENPLATZ TO THE UNHCR IN BERLIN
http://thevoiceforum.org/node/2981

"I don't tell my story to receive compassion but because it's the truth.
No doubt about that I'll still continue to fight."

Seif Ibrahim had built his life in Lybia. As the uprising came he was kept
in Bir el Ghanam by the Lybian governmental troops and like many Sudanese,
was forced to enroll to fight the rebels. After he denied he was tortured
for 22 days. During that time all the inmates were threatened by the
soldiers to be raped. He was every day repeatedly drowned in water and
beaten on every part of his body. The consequences of this torture
continue to affect Seif today. He has broken teeth and often collapses and
looses consciousness. On June 22, 2012 he succeeded to take a boat to
Lampedusa, Italy. "This was not the end for my problems but the new
beginning of them". Through the Refugee Camp of Manduria (Taranto) Seif
was transferred to an improvised camp for refugees managed as a family
business in Ceccano (Frosinone). There he spent months only sleeping and
eating, not being allowed to go out, to learn language or to receive
medical care. Accusing heavily the physical problems coming from the
torture he had suffered, Seif protested by starting a hunger strike. After
three days he was taken the first time to a hospital. There he was
provided with no interpreter. The only translations were made occasionally
by a nurse from Maghreb. Exasperated by the impossibility of receiving
proper treatment for his sufferings, Seif started a protest which ended
him two weeks in psychiatrical confinement, without any kind of other
therapy other than tranquilizers. The end of Seif's experience in Italy
came about when the person in charge of the home said to him: "you are
expelled". She then gave him a ticket to Milan telling him to leave the
country. He arrived one day at the end of October to Berlin Oranienplatz
Refugee Protest Camp.

Yasser Abdullah, Mawda, Montasir (12), Miaad (5), Mohamed (1) have been 5
years in flight. Yasser has been a soldier in North Sudan. In 2007 he
receives a letter from the Sudanese army to go to fight the rebels in
Darfur. He did not accept it. To refuse would result in imprisonment and
maybe torture, and therefore decided to escape with his family. He made a
living in Lybia until the conflict in 2011 began. He sold his car and
jumped with his wife and two children into a boat with 450 persons. They
landed in Lampedusa and through the camp of Manduria, they were sent to an
asylum managed by a cooperative of social service. After 5 months not
satisfied with the accommodation and the long wait for answers for their
asylum case, him and his wife started protesting with a hungerstrike. Then
something inexplicable happened. While Yasser was called to the police
station, social workers took his wife and children away from him and bring
them to a catholic center for women. For two weeks he was deprived of any
chance to communicate with them, and then was only allowed to see them two
times a month under surveillance of a social worker. The reason alleged:
he wouldn't be a good father for having put the family in danger crossing
the sea. After 4 months he decided to organize their escape, he gathered
his family and fled to Germany

Mohamed Abdien escaped from Dwem through the desert, due to political
persecution. He took part in 2010 in a social opposition movement against
the Sudanese Government. He was arrested once and tortured, so when the
security forces of the Government came looking for him again he did not
wait for them and he left the country.
First destination was Tripoli, in Lybia. For 10 months he received support
from the Sudanese community and was able to make a living, until the civil
war began making it impossible to live there for anyone.
Abdien arrived to Italy in Lampedusa on June 22, 2011. He had a first
identification interview where photos and fingerprints were taken.
Immediately he was transferred to the Refugee Camp of Manduria (Taranto).
For one month Abdien was living in tents without the possibility to have a
shower, insufficient meals and no interpreter: "treated as animals". After
he started a protest together with some other inmates of the camp he was
then transferred to Monza in the former Hotel "Fantello", now vacant and
used as a refugee camp by the cooperative "Aeris". He remained there 3
months before his asylum case even began. He then had his first interview,
followed by another appointment in 7 months to go on with his asylum
procedure. He describes the life during these months; "just eating and
nothing more". This means only 2 meals: breakfast and lunch, no money at
all, no language courses and no health care.
At the end of the 7th month he succeeded to have his asylum procedure
completed. He finally received refugee status and a permit of stay for 5
years. He asked what are his rights now. The answer was: no school, no
housing program, no social income, no job for you. He was suggested to go
to night shelters for homeless people, only open from 8 pm till 7 am. For
meals he had to go to the soup kitchen in the Caritas. He decided to leave
Italy and to try to open a new asylum case in Germany.

Ahmad escaped in 2003 from a Refugee Camp in Darfur, through the desert to
Lybia. After 8 years of living a worthy life working in agriculture, he
was then forced to escape again from the Lybian war in 2011. Ahmad arrived
in April in Sicily. Arrested without documents, the police brought him to
CIE (Identification and Expulsion Center) in Crotone, where he spent 9
months in detention without reason. Post his request for asylum, he only
had 2 interviews, receiving no answers. From this point onwards he started
to suffer psychological stress. He escaped to Rome asking for asylum
again, without success. He then began living on the streets for 3 months.
As he continued to pursue his rights to asylum, medical care,
accommodation, he only received answers: to sleep on the street and to eat
at the soup kitchen of the Caritas. When he realized the Italian Foreign
Office was preparing to bring him back to the detention center in Crotone
he decided to escape. "What's unacceptable for me is that the European
Countries, after waging and profiting the war in Lybia, don't accept us to
come here. I'd never have come to Europe if my life if Lybia had not been
destroyed by that war."

We Asylum Seekers and Refugees from the Protest Camp of Berlin
Oranienplatz we are here to put to the UNHCR our questions and demands. As
was already acknowledged in the case of the violation of the asylum rights
in Greece:

Why the UNHCR refuse to take position against the entire Dublin 2 System?
Is only Greece the problem? Do asylum rights in Hungary, Poland and Italy
exist?

It is well known, and the Asylum seekers better then any other, that there
is no "THIRD SAFE COUNTRY". Are we living safe in Germany under constant
threat of being deported?

TIME TO STOP WITH DEPORTATIONS

TIME TO FINISH WITH DUBLIN 2, 3 AND

WITH ANY OTHER PERSECUTION OF REFUGEES
Refugee Protest Camp Oranienplatz

Dublin II: Deportation to Italy, deportation into homelessness!

[creative-radio] Statement on FCC student station decision

 

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Michi Eyre <mae@recnet.com>
Date: 30 November 2012 10:29
Subject: [Stubblefield] REC statement on FCC student station decision
To: nceorg@lists.prometheusradio.org, Stubblefield <
stubblefield@lists.prometheusradio.org>

REC is delighted that the FCC took our suggestion and lifted the
restrictions that were placed on proposed student operated LPFM stations.
Under the original rules, if an LPFM application by a student operated
station at an institution that already has a broacast license was mutually
exclusive with other LPFM applicants, the student application would be
dismissed.

As we have seen with KUSF and many other student stations that have seen
their fate set in the past decade as universities downsize their
broadcasting and journalism programs, LPFM is an affordable way to maintain
some form of over-the-air experience for our next generation of people in
the broadcast industry.

Under the new rules, a student operated station that is based out of an
institution that already has a FM, AM or TV station will not be dismissed
solely because of this status and will be able to now compete for points
and if necessary, share time with other LPFM stations thus increasing dial
diversity even further.

Like the FCC Chairman and many others, my first experience at a licensed
radio station was at a student-run station. In my case, as a community
volunteer. I have a place in my heart for student run radio and my
comments that made this change take place was common sense and from the
heart.

I encourage all potential student broadcast station applicants to use
myLPFM http://mylpfm.com to find their potential channels and to use Radio
Spark http://www.radiospark.org/ from Prometheus Radio Project to network
with other potential applicants as well as us who are more seasoned in the
LPFM community.

Finally, thanks to our friends at Common Frequency
http://beta.commonfrequency.org/ who filed comments in favor of our student
station proposal.

Creative-Radio is an independent forum for people active in or interested in the use of radio in development, in particular promoting public health, improved education, protection of the environment, improved livelihoods, good governance and conflict mitigation. Since it started in 1996, Creative-Radio has been in the forefront of radio's resurgence as a tool for social change and peace-building, and it helps promote best practice in these areas.
