Thank you! Algeria Enterprise Nationale de Radiodiffusion Sonore The Entreprise Nationale de Radiodiffusion Sonore (ENRS, the National Sound Broadcasting Company, Algerian Radio, or Radio Algérienne) is Algeria's state-owned public radio broadcasting organisation. Formed in 1986 when the previous Algerian Radio and Television company (established in 1962) was split into four enterprises, it produces three national radio channels: Chaîne 1 in Arabic, Chaîne 2 in Berber and Chaîne 3 in French. There are also two thematic channels (Radio Culture and Radio Coran), one international station (Radio Algérie Internationale broadcasting on shortwave) and many local stations. The official languages of Algeria are Arabic and Tamazight (Berber), as specified in its constitution since 1963 for the former and since 2016 for the latter. Berber has been recognised as a "national language" by constitutional amendment since 8 May 2002. In February 2016, a constitutional resolution was passed making Berber an official language alongside Arabic. Algerian Arabic and Berber are the native languages of over 99% of Algerians, with Algerian Arabic spoken by about 47% and Berber by 53%. French, though it has no official status, is widely used in government, culture, media (newspapers) and education (from primary school), due to Algeria's colonial history. Kabyle, the most spoken Berber language in the country, is taught and partially co-official (with a few restrictions) in parts of Kabylie. (Wikipedia) Radio Algérienne Chaîne 1 Chaîne 1 is the main Arabic language service of Radio Algérienne. Its programmnig consists of news, information and sport. It currently operates around the clock on two mediumwave transmitters on 909 kHz (10 kW) and 1071 kHz (5 kW). On 19 February 2021, the main Chaîne 1 mediumwave transmitter on 891 kHz (600 kW) switched to carrying Radio Algérie Internationale. Chaîne 1 news is also relayed by many local stations throughout the day and overnight. Radio Algérienne Chaîne 2 Chaîne 2 is the Tamazight (Berber) language service of Radio Algérienne. It can be heard widely on 981 kHz. Radio Algérienne Chaîne 3 Chaîne 3 is the French language service of Radio Algérienne. It is broadcast on longwave 252 kHz. Radio UFC / Radio Culture / Radio Coran Radio UFC, Radio Culture and Radio Coran are three thematic services of Radio Algérienne. They are mainly on FM but can also be heard on 1422 kHz as per the schedule below. Local stations may these channels at certain times of the day. Radio Coran is also relayed on shortwave. Jil FM Jil FM, or "Generation FM", is the country’s first youth-oriented station. Its main frequency is 94.7 FM but it also broadcasts on 549 kHz mediumwave (on 19 February 2021, Jil FM on 531 kHz, 600 kW, switched to carrying Radio Algérie Internationale). Jil FM programmes are mainly in Arabic, but also has content in French and Tamazight. 2 Radio Algérienne local radio stations Local stations generally have their own programmes between 0800-1900 and may relay one of the national channels or Radio Algérie International during the evening and overnight. Many stations carry Radio Quran after 2300. The main news bulletins in Arabic from Chaîne 1 may also be aired at 0600, 1200, 1800 and 2200 UTC.

RNA operates five radio stations in the capital (Canal A, Rádio N'Gola Yetu, Rádio Luanda, Rádio Estéreo FM, Rádio 5), eighteen regional stations (one per province) and an international radio station (International Service) RNA Canal A Canal A is the national service of RNA, broadcasting exclusively in Portuguese throughout Angola on a network of FM transmitters, as well as on mediumwave (1134v kHz, but subject to confirmation) and shortwave (4950v kHz). It airs two comprehensive news bulletins at 1300 and 2000 local time (1200 and 1900 UTC) that are also relayed by provincial stations. As well as news and current affairs, Canal A also focuses on culture, education and entertainment. Transmitter site: Luanda-Mulenvos: MW 10 kW; SW 25 kW. Time/UTC Language kHz 24 hours Portuguese 1134v & 4949.7v Note: although 1134v kHz has been heard in 2021 with Portuguese, both by Peter Wilson in Botswana and myself using the online SDR at Oranjemund in Namibia, it is unclear whether it is regularly on air. Checks using the online SDR in Namibia since May show that Radio Kuwait is dominant most evenings with no apparent trace of Angola.

  • The Role of Sidama Indigenous Institutions in Conflict Resolution: in the Case of Dalle Woreda, Southern Ethiopia
    American Journal of Sociological Research 2016, 6(1): 10-26 DOI: 10.5923/j.sociology.20160601.02 The Role of Sidama Indigenous Institutions in Conflict Resolution: In the Case of Dalle Woreda, Southern Ethiopia Abebe Demewoz Mengesha Anthropology, Dilla University, Dilla, Ethiopia Abstract The major goal of this study was to assess the role of indigenous institutions in handling/ settling conflicts in the Sidama Society. Sidama Communities are found in Sidama Zone, Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Regional State (SNNPRS). The research was conducted in Dalle woreda, Sidama Zone and it was purposively selected. Qualitative research methodology was employed in the study for its appropriateness to assess the role of indigenous institutions in handling/ settling conflicts in the study area and data was collected through the use of interview, key informant interview, focus group discussion, personal observation and document review. The results obtained from the study suggest that Conflicts in Sidama, as in anywhere else, may vary from trivial interpersonal disagreements to a serious dispute which might eventually lead to homicide. The most common conflict issues in Sidama are grazing land, water, farmland and borderland. There are many deeds and accounts in the daily activities of the society which are considered to be crimes with regard to the norms and traditions of the Sidama community. However, the most serious ones are: beating a man with a slump and/or thin stick, Beating elderly, raping, murder, Physical damage, Adultery. Sidama indigenous institutions have played a great role to solve different local conflicts and for the development of modern institutions. The modern institutions (Courts) have and took a strong base from the indigenous institutions in resolving conflict and preserving peace and security.

  • OSAC Country Security Report Botswana
    OSAC Country Security Report Botswana Last Updated: July 28, 2021 Travel Advisory The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication assesses Botswana at Level 4, indicating that travelers should not travel to Botswana due to COVID-19. Review OSAC’s report, Understanding the Consular Travel Advisory System. The Institute for Economics & Peace Global Peace Index 2021 ranks Botswana 41 out of 163 worldwide, rating the country as being at a High state of peace. Crime Environment The U.S. Department of State has assessed Gaborone as being a HIGH-threat location for crime directed at or affecting official U.S. government interests. The U.S. Department of State has not included a Crime “C” Indicator on the Travel Advisory for Botswana. Review the State Department’s Crime Victims Assistance brochure. Crime: General Threat Criminal incidents, particularly crimes of opportunity (e.g., purse snatchings, smash-and-grabs from parked cars and in traffic, residential burglaries), can occur regardless of location. Theft of mobile phones, laptop computers, and other mobile devices are common. Criminals can be confrontational. Criminals often arm themselves with knives or blunt objects (e.g., tools, shovels, bats). Botswana has strict gun-control laws, but criminals reportedly smuggle firearms from neighboring countries where weapons are inexpensive and readily available. A public awareness campaign highlights this issue and requests the public report illegal firearms to the police. Reporting indicates instances of non-violent residential burglaries and violent home invasions. Incidents affect local residents, expatriates, and visitors alike. Robberies and burglaries tend to spike during the holiday seasons.
