Radio Ijambo and the petrol price rise
Studio Ijambo was set up more than 2 years ago following large scale massacres that broke out between the two main ethnic groups in Burundi. During this period, there were 'hate radio' stations that focused on ethnic issues, furthering the already existing mistrust between the two ethnic groups. Studio Ijambo was created to try to show people that there is an alternative to violence and that compromise can be reached through dialogue. The programmes focus on issues of socio-political and economic interest, which directly involve people in their daily lives.
