Radio Dabanga

Dabanga is an independent, Sudanese news and information broadcaster. Founded in 2008 to report on the Darfur crisis, Dabanga has expanded to provide coverage of all corners of the country. Via shortwave radio, satellite television, and online platforms, Dabanga has gained a widespread and diverse audience, and has a particular strength in serving marginalised and hard-to-reach communities. When the 2019 ‘people’s revolution’ brought about the end of the al-Bashir led regime, Dabanga was at the forefront to broadcast trusted news and information.

Formerly exiled to the Netherlands, Dabanga is now increasing operations within Sudan – growing its team of Sudan-based reporters and stringers to offer grassroots media coverage of social, economic, and political issues.

As Sudan transitions to democracy, Dabanga is committed to serving as a vital information and communication loop between citizens and those in power. Dabanga’s programming is focused on educating and informing people about democracy, providing a space for informed debate, and holding those in power to account. Dabanga specialises in reporting on human rights, health, gender, youth, transitional justice, and civil society.
