GOZ BEIDA, Chad (AP) - Men driving donkey carts to the market and refugees crouching in the shade finally have something to break the boredom of life in this arid Darfur border village — news, hip-hop and Arabic music coming in on cranky transistor radios.
It's Radio Sila, the village's only radio station, funded mostly by U.S. taxpayers and pumping some fun into a violence-region suffering the spillover from the Darfur conflict next door.
"People follow our car in the streets, shouting 'radio, radio,'" said Fiacre Munezero, the station's supervisor. "It's a good start."
