RADIO DAMAL - OVERVIEW
As the World knows, Somalia is a country which has seen a great deal of 
conflict over the last thirty plus years. Firstly, an internecine civil 
was and subsequently a polarized political and religious climate has 
seen one of Africa’s oldest and greatest trading nations reduced to a 
fragmented and poverty ridden state. Even now, leadership of the nation 
remains fragmented with multiple local conflicts continuing to repress 
its people’s aspirations for their futures.
Radio Damal is a Somali vernacular radio station. Its core purpose is to 
reflect the independent voice of the nation, promoting values derived 
from the Somali people themselves. In particular, it seeks to foster the 
basic human rights of freedom, security, economic, social and community 
development and peace. It also promotes the concept of tolerance, a 
quality for which traditionally Somalis are renowned for. It aims to 
drive these values amongst Somali speaking people globally.
Radio Damal does this through a broad content map which includes; music, 
arts & culture, political commentary, news and features programming such 
as that targeting women, working people and the youth.
In music, it promotes musicians who share the values of the station. 
This includes the acquisition and promotion of the latest hits coupled 
with content which reflects the range of depth of Somali culture such as 
music classics and spoken word.
In audience specific programming, it aims to deliver edutainment 
features which empowers its listeners and gives them the information 
they need to better their own lives. Much of this programming is driven 
by the audience themselves with regular contributions from listeners 
through SMS, live call ins and interview inserts as well as being guests 
on the station shows.
It currently broadcasts from Nairobi, Kenya, six hours per day – three 
in the morning, three in the evening, all on short wave frequencies. Its 
coverage reaches across Europe, through the Middle East and right across 
Africa. The signal has, however, been picked up as far afield as Australia.
Radio Damal is the media channel which drives Somali Peace and Unity.
