A Somali-speaking colleague says this new station (see below) is Radio Damal, which describes itself as "the voice of the Somali people" ("odka bulshada Somaliyeed" - this ID is clearly heard). It is based in Nairobi and is said to aim to promote peace, unity and development. One of the presenters used to work for the KBC's Somali service. I will try to find out more, including an address. I was in Cairo last week and the 11740 kHz transmission was well heard there, opening at 1829:30 UT with Koran recitation. At 1930 UT they have to leave 11740 kHz to make way for VOA Albanian - a pity as I couldn't file:///Z|/DOKUMENTATION-BULLETINS/WWDXD-BCDX/2010/BCDX994.TXT[11.06.2012 10:40:35]
