Médias Ébène active in the launch of Koode Kisndam radio in Chad -

Koode Kisndam Radio in Dourbali, in the Chari Barguimi region, was officially inaugurated on February 13, in celebration of World Radio Day. This unique and unprecedented event marked a milestone in the town’s history, as it welcomed its very first radio station.

Dourbali, February 21, 2025

Administrative officials, including the regional governor, as well as traditional and religious leaders, were present alongside the residents of Dourbali to celebrate this initiative, in which they have placed all their hopes for long-awaited development.

Koode Kisndam Radio, housed in its own facilities built by its founder, Moussa Batchaguine—known locally as “the Bororo pastor”—broadcasts on 99.1 FM using a 1,000-watt transmitter and a 42-meter-tall tower. It will serve a cosmopolitan and predominantly Muslim population that is deeply attached to oral traditions and listening to the radio.

Although it has been inaugurated and is open to the public, Koode Kisndam still faces the challenge of completing its facilities, particularly by installing a lightning rod to protect its equipment from the frequent thunderstorms in the region.

Médias Ebène contributed to this launch by providing comprehensive training to the radio station’s teams, covering topics such as rigorous financial management, fundraising, marketing, the use of artificial intelligence in program creation, and the use of technical equipment. These training sessions were led by our volunteers Christian Gaspoz and Emmanuel Ziehli.
