Goodbye, Kigali - Abschied von der letzten DW-Relaisstation

The DW switched their latest self-powered shortwave relay station in Kigali Rwanda tonight.

For 50 years the radio programs from the hills of Kigali sent via shortwave to Africa and Europe - with an eventful history.

There are financial reasons for Deutsche Welle's departure. The annual cost of running the station totals three million euros ($3.3 million). {nothing, - compared to 385 billion debts by Greece, wb.}

DW French - Afrique - L'adieu à Kigali.
Depuis 1965, la station-relais DW de Kigali relayait les émissions en ondes courtes de notre radio en plusieurs langues sur le continent africain.

Le samedi 28 mars, une page de l'histoire de notre radio se tourne : c'est la date à laquelle la station-relais de la Deutsche Welle à Kigali ferme ses portes. Elle existait depuis 1965. Souvenirs, souvenirs...

Around 80 of the 100 Rwandan staff at Deutsche Welle's Kigali relay station were killed in the genocide. Walter Berger and his colleagues returned to the station in August 1994 and it was a ghastly sight that awaited them. They found body parts of their dead Rwandan colleagues in the rooms. They were able to identify them by their clothing.
