Jonathan Marks interviews launch director of Radio Bar-Kulan

Jonathan Marks writes in the Critical Distance Weblog: “Was delighted to do an interview with David Smith, the launch director of Radio Bar-Kulan. This is a new venture based on successful projects in Congo and the Central African Republic. The task of uniting Somalis in a country with no functioning central government is daunting. But, I believe, if anyone has the expertise to get it right, it is the team of Somalis working alongside David Smith at the moment.”
