Letters From Afghanistan


Starting February 24, the Library of Congress is running a multimedia exhibit displaying some of the thousands of hand-painted scrolls and letters received by Afghanistan's most popular radio station, RFE/RL's Radio Azadi.

The exhibit -- "Voices From Afghanistan" -- offers a window into the daily lives of ordinary Afghans from various ethnic communities across all parts of the country.

Since it went on the air in 2001, Radio Azadi has received thousands of letters from merchants, clerics, farmers, university students, and schoolchildren across Afghanistan.

If you're in D.C., the exhibition runs until May 8 (details here). Or check out our multimedia page on the letters.

About This Blog

Written by RFE/RL editors and correspondents, Transmission serves up news, comment, and the odd silly dictator story. While our primary concern is with foreign policy, Transmission is also a place for the ideas -- some serious, some irreverent -- that bubble up from our bureaus. The name recognizes RFE/RL's role as a surrogate broadcaster to places without free media. You can write us at transmission+rferl.org
