Radio Miraya , radio in sudan

Radio Miraya host Lubna Lasu broadcasts the Betna Weekend Edition program on April 10, 2010 in the southern Sudanese city of Juba. The show focuses on the elections and women's rights and is broadcast across South Sudan. There were no televised debates, much less Twittering or blogging, as candidates sought to get their messages across to the people of south Sudan in an election campaign that wrapped up on April 9. Instead, it was mostly the transistor radio for the inhabitants of the dirt-poor semi-autonomous region, where most people are illiterate and few are wealthy enough or lucky enough even to have electricity for a television.
