N'DJAMENA, Chad (AP) - Private radio stations began a three-day protest Wednesday of government censorship of their reporting on Chad's volatile east, an association of radio broadcasters said.
During a 10-day state of emergency introduced in November, the government introduced broad measures restricting radio stations from reporting clashes between Arab and non-Arab Chadians in the east that have killed at least 220 people. The measures were imposed on six regions of Chad, including the capital, N'djamena.
The state of emergency was extended following more violence Dec. 1 near the Sudan border that killed roughly 130 rebels and soldiers.
