Countering Hate Radio, Promoting Peace Radio

Some people believe that Hate Radio is a phenomenon that started and ended in the mid-90’s, notably in the Great Lakes region of Africa around Burundi and Rwanda. This dossier, continually updated by Radio Netherlands’ Media Network, shows that hate radio continues to be a constant danger. Hate radio killed more than 800,000 people in the last decade. Its influence should not be ignored.
