Radio Anfani, CENSORED
Soldiers took over the offices of Radio Anfani (FM100 MHZ), a privately owned radio station and Voice of America affiliate in Niamey. The military's actions were believed to be in retaliation for the station's coverage of the political opposition during the run-up to presidential elections, held July 7-8. Radio Anfani resumed broadcasting on Aug. 4.
