At about 0647 UTC on the 22nd day of July 2023, I tuned in to Radio Ndarason Internationale broadcasting on 15505 kHz in the Kannada language.
Radio Ndarason Internationale has been on air since February 2018. It is produced by the Chad branch of South African based Okapi Consulting in partnership with the intergovernmental ‘Lake Chad Commission’.
Radion Ndarason Internationale has studios in N’Djamena in Chad, and Maiduguri in Nigeria. The station targets the Kanuri, Kanembu and Buduma-speaking populations in areas under the influence of Boko Haram in the Chad Basin region.
Radio Ndarason’s website states:-
“The main role of this radio is to serve as a tool against extreme violence. It serves as a platform to promote a local discourse among all actors affected by the current crisis in the Lake Chad region.”
The Kanuri word ‘ndarason’ translates to ‘wherever you go’.
The overall reception of Radio Ndarason International was good.
| S | I | N | P | O |
| 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
Below is a short video of my reception of Radio Ndarason Internationale.
