Radio Mada Internationale, the station that supports the deposed president of Madagascar Marc Ravalomanana, has resumed shortwave broadcasts. Glenn Hauser reports receiving information from WRN that the broadcasts are at 1530-1600 UTC on 15640 (changing to 15670 kHz as from 25 October) from Moldova. Currently the broadcasts are on Saturdays and Sundays only.
The reactivation of shortwave is connected with the GTT (Gasy Tia Tanindrazana) which describes itself as a collective of various associations and individuals from Madagascar, Europe and other countries opposed to the coup in Madagascar, that is striving for respect and legality. Radio Mada Internationale now describes itself as the radio station of the GTT.
