[HCDX] Radio Gambia - "Long live the revolution"!

["Dave Kernick" <dak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On 30 July 1981 there was a left-wing coup attempt against the government of 
President Dawda Jawara, which lasted less than a week before being thwarted 
by the intervention of Senegalese troops. The plotters had managed to gain 
control of the whole country for those few days though, including state 
broadcaster Radio Gambia, which they, in the usual fashion, described as 
"the voice of the revolution".

Swedish radio enthusiast Goran Carlsson has donated an audio clip of the 
rebels on the air in English, with the usual "Long Live the Revolution" and 
"Long Live the Struggle" sloganizing and urging the population to "gather 
behind the Supreme Council of the Revolution". This can be heard on the 
Interval Signals Online website at www.intervalsignalsonline.com
