By James Deng Dimo WAU- August 8, 2016 [Gurtong] “Many devices including power banks, AC cold machine for the station and many connection cables and wires were badly demaged,” said Aleu. Important documents were also disposed outside the fence. Lusi Pasquale described the incident as planned to destroy government properties at the station. Five men have since been arrested in connection with the robbery because they were found in possession of stolen spare parts from the station, they are under criminal investigation. The radio station, according to Aleu, was established in 1992 by the Sudan government under the Sudan National Broadcasting Corporation, supported by an American company. The radio station was halted in 2013 after it experienced shortage of spare parts and high cost of fuel, a year later it was turned into frequency modulation (FM) broadcasting in Wau town Before it was changed to FM, the radio was broadcasting on 1017 KHz, covering Greater Bahr el Ghazal Region, Western Equatoria, Western and Southern Darfur. The station, according to Aleu, has played a big role in South Sudan before the South Sudan’s independence.
