Closing in on the Djibo FM licence

The invitation to submit applications for Burkina Faso radio frequencies has finally arrived. The Conseil Superieur de Communications posted this Avis d’appel à candidatures on their website at the end of December, and the deadline for submissions is 26 February 2007. Djibo is number 14 on their list of frequencies up-for-grabs.

So far as we know, there are two associations in Djibo who would like the Djibo licence. One us which is us. The grapevine has it that the other association (which will remain nameless, in case what follows isn't true!) has received substantial funding from a development bank and has 'eaten' all the money. They are now desperate to get the Djibo licence in order to cover up their 'detournement de fonds'.

The plot thickens...
