SOLOMON ISLNADS
"SIBC GM Johnson Honimae says the SIBC is a survivor in a nation falling
apart through civil war and
bankruptcy and his efforts to keep the stn on the air have been very
personal, with violence and threats against
himself and his staff. SIBC is currently under state pressure to stop
telling the truth with reports from both
sides of the ethnic conflict, and hasn't been funded in two years in
retaliation for its even handed approach.
SIBC currently remains on the air through aid from several donor countries
and a small amount of paid
advertising for local notices. So if you're reporting SIBC on AM/SW, it's
useful to reflect a moment on the
conditions under which they operate, to be courteous, patient and not have
expectations that sending a QSL is
high on their priority list whilst they dodge lawless gunmen and an angry
and broke govt."
