The Sudan Radio Stations

Sudan's dial reflects a nation of storytellers: Arabic-language talk, poetry and drama have flourished on air since the colonial-era beginnings of broadcasting at Omdurman, whose station became one of the Arab world's most influential. Private FM stations brought Sudanese pop and youth culture to Khartoum in the 2000s, and community radio developed in Darfur and the peripheries. Haqiba song heritage, Nubian music and Quranic recitation anchor the cultural schedule through turbulent times.
