A compact weekly digest of Dabanga Sudan's highlights of the news from Darfur and Sudan
♦ Video of new Jebel Marra displaced, still without aid
♦ Support Dabanga crowdfunding update: Almost a month of airtime!
Two and a half weeks after the start of our crowdfunding campaign, we have raised 27 days of shortwave radio airtime for Dabanga and its over 2,00,000 daily listeners. That means almost a full month of airtime for Radio Dabanga! We have been lucky to have your support as a friend of Radio Dabanga. Now with ten days of crowdfunding left on the clock, we need to carry on to keep Radio Dabanga on air even longer. Will you support us with two minutes, a day, or a week of airtime?
Or do you rather help out by creating a buzz about Radio Dabanga? You can follow our Twitter and Facebook, and share:
- The interview with our editor-in-Chief, Kamal, who lets you know why our work is vital;
