In Western Sahara prison, « radio became a kind of intellectual nourishment. »

Pambazuka News, 5 Oct 2011, Nikolaj Nielsen: Brahim Sabbar, recalling his detention in the Seguiat al Hamra prison in Western Sahara: « We created a lot of committees, committee of theatre, of culture, of coordination with the leaders, and tried to emulate the organized structure of the Polisario from inside the prison. 
 
Finally we got the right to get a radio with a single medium wave. However, we figured out how to get short wave so we could listen to the BBC and Radio France Internationale. The radio became a kind of intellectual nourishment. »
