(JED/IFEX) – The RTC (Radiotélévision LA COLOMBE) station in Rutshuru, located in North Kivu province, approximately 72 km from Goma, in eastern DRC, went back on the air on 10 February 2006 after a 13-day broadcasting hiatus that began on 29 January when the station’s director Delphin Yenga Yenga closed the radio for reasons of general insecurity.
According to information received by JED from the station’s chief programmer Roberto Kituke Onge, the decision to resume broadcasting was taken following a general lull in violence in this part of the country. The station set up the transmitter again and repaired the mixer, allowing for programming to re-commence while new equipment will be purchased in the interim.
