Comoros
Press: There is no single national newspaper. Although several private newspapers criticize the Government, self-censorship is reportedly common. The main (weekly) papers are Al Watwan (state-owned) published on Grand Comore, Kuesi published on the French island of Mayotte and La Gazette des Comores (independent). L’Archipel (independent) is published monthly. There are no English-language newspapers.
Radio/TV: There is a national radio station, Radio Comoros, and a national TV service. RFO Mayotte, run by French public radio and TV, broadcasts French and locally-produced radio and TV programs from the French island of Mayotte and can be received in parts of the archipelago. Other radio stations include: Radio Dziyalandze Mutsamudu (RDM), an FM station on Anjouan, which relays Radio France Internationale and Radio Ngazidja, the official station on Grand Comore. Local radio and TV stations operate without overt Government interference.
