Ugandan exiles
living in Germany plan to launch a radio station.
Mr Godfrey Elum Ayoo
said in a statement on Wednesday that Radio Rhino International-Africa
(RRIA) would help overcome the Movement�s control of the free and
independent press in Uganda.
�RRIA is a
declaration of an airwave campaign in the liberation, protection and
promotion of the freedoms of _expression_ and the rights to information by
the press, mass media and the people of Uganda,� Ayoo said in an e-mailed
statement.
Ayoo said that the
short wave radio station would be based in Koln, Germany.
The radio would
broadcast in English on daily events throughout Africa.
The station would go
on air next month, Ayoo said.
Ayoo has been living
in exile since 1986 when the Movement captured state
power.
