BBC Services for Ethiopia

Presented by The Anglo-Ethiopian Society.  

BBC Services for Ethiopia with Solomon Mugera

Last year the BBC launched three new language services, designed for Ethiopia. Staff are based in London and Nairobi, where they compile and broadcast daily programmes in Tigrinya, Amharic and Afaan Oromo for Ethiopian audiences, both at home and abroad.

The project was launched at a turbulent and exciting time in the region, and the head of the service, Solomon Mugera, will talk to us about getting the new services on air, and about how they research, compile and broadcast their programmes.

The Anglo-Ethiopian Society is affiliated to the University of London’s Centre of African Studies (CAS) and all of our events at SOAS are co-hosted with CAS.
