RFI back on the air in Rwanda

Radio France International can once again be heard in Rwanda.  Transmitters have started broadcasting again after they shut down in 2006.

RFI is now available in French and Swahili on a new frequency in Kigali of 91.9FM.

“It’s with immense pleasure that RFI can rediscover its Rwandan listeners with a new offering, enriched by two hours daily in Swahili along with programmes in French”, said Geneviève Goetzinger Executive Director of RFI.

The return of RFI to the airwaves comes during a warming of relations between the two countries.
