The Toronto Globe and Mail had an interesting article today that
covered the importance of shortwave radio in getting information into
dictatorial countries, in particular Zimbabwe. The dictator of Zimbabwe
seized the farms of the Europeans and turned them over to unschooled
natives amid much violence. The farms are now run down and not
producing. The result has been starvation of the poor. Those who
protested this state of affairs (if they were lucky) have been driven
into exile. All free radio, newspapers, and other media, have been
closed down and only government mouthpieces are allowed. The exiles now
broadcast into Zimbabwe from studios in London and transmitters in
Africa. This is the gist of the article in the Globe and Mail, written
by Stephanie Nolen. (see links below)

Mike Terry beat you to it, at least here on the group:
