In times of conflict, radio unveils the realities of what is happening on the ground, according to the head radio at the UN-African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID).

Jumbe Omari Jumbe made the remarks during a celebration of World Radio Day (WRD) at a girls’ school in the El Salaam camp for displaced persons or IDPs.

The Day is celebrated throughout the world to highlight the unique power radio has in bringing people together as well as its contribution to resolving conflicts around the globe.

Solar-powered radio handsets were handed out to the students at the school by UNAMID’s communications team.

Here’s Jumbe Omari Jumbe’s report.
