Chad radio and TV reported back on the air

CNN is reporting that government radio and TV broadcasts from Chad, which had been off the air since Saturday, have resumed. The network says that Chad’s president today claimed his government was in control of the entire country, speaking to journalists for the first time since rebels tried to remove him from power. The report adds that “Broadcasts that had been cut have resumed Wednesday, with the message that all is calm, order is restored, and it is safe to return.”
Prior to the coup attempt, the station had been well received in Europe during local evenings on 4905 kHz.
