Radio Corona Internationale
A PIRATE RADIO CREATED BY THE VIRUS
ALGERIA/USA
The coronavirus gave him back “the radio virus.” Radio and TV broadcaster Abdallah Benadouda, who was forced to leave Algeria in 2014 after a broadcast that annoyed senior government officials, launched Radio Corona Internationale (RCI) in late March from the United States, where he now lives. The humour and irreverence of its reporters and commentators provide an antidote to the persecution and censorship to which the independent media are subjected in Algeria. The “end of the world radio,” as it dubs itself, is broadcast on Facebook and SoundCloud and now has thousands of listeners.
