New station begins broadcasts

    BUJUMBURA

    Radio Isanganiro, a new broadcaster, began its programming on Monday aimed primarily at people in internally displaced and refugee camps, the manager, Jeannine Nahigombeye, said.

    "The aim of the radio is, as its name signifies, to be a meeting point for everyone: ordinary citizens, politicians, civil society," she said.

    Broadcasts will also also reach Burundians in countries such as Belgium, Canada, and France. Sponsored by the American NGO Search for Common Ground, the radio is the seventh privately run local broadcaster set up in less than five years.
