As the Angolan Civil War dragged on in the 1990s, @voaportuges journalist Ricardo de Mello covered the war extensively for the network.
Despite many threats, de Mello maintained his commitment to the stories audiences needed to know. Retaliation over his coverage of high-level corruption and the Angolan government's war effort ultimately led to the journalist's death. We honor his life and his work, and they remind us of the dangers journalists around the world continue to face.

Caught On Video: Ukrainian Bank Tries To Delete Recording After Assault On RFE/RL Journalists
Journalists around the world are routinely harassed and threatened while doing their job. Unfortunately, that harassment isn't always documented for the world to see. Earlier this month, two RFE/RL journalists were attacked while interviewing the chairman of the state-owned Ukreximbank. Bank employees used physical force against an RFE/RL cameraman Oleksandr Mazur, seizing two video cameras from him and erasing the recorded contents of the cameras' SD cards.
RFE/RL technicians were later able to recover the video, which was then posted online and sparked a major scandal, forcing the chairman to temporarily resign his post until a criminal investigation by Ukraine's National Police can be completed.
The clip below is the video recovered by RFE/RL's technicians.

The head of the Langano Secondary School contacted the young boy and offered him the opportunity after coming across his story on Afan Oromo’s page. His recent creations include an audio FM transmitter and an electric transformer that could magnify currents from solar panels and, if increased in size, can be used to provide light for people in rural areas.

Fallen Journalists Portrait Project - Alisher Saipov
TV and Radio Martí are providing unique and unbiased coverage of a campaign recently launched by the League of Independent Farmers and the Cuban chapter of the Latin American Federation of Rural Women (FLAMUR). The campaign called “Sin campo no hay pais” (Without farming, no free country) urges the government to lift what it calls “internal blockades” and allow farmers to free produce, sell and distribute their produce. The pandemic has strained already difficult food production systems and without changes, this campaign argues, famine could strike the island.
Rural women make up a quarter of the world’s population, and the global pandemic is affecting them in unique and disproportionate ways. USAGM networks provide important reporting for and about women living in rural areas. From Radio Free Asia: During the good times, Kayan women were popular attractions in the northern Thai tourist city of Chiang Mai. Now they’re once again working in the fields in rural Myanmar. This RFA report looks at how the pandemic has affected the lives of these women and explores the perspective of young women, some of whom are questioning the ancient practice.
Explaining American culture is an important aspect of some USAGM programming. @alhurra’s breathtaking explanation of Columbus Day was short-listed for the Best Use of Technology by the New York Festivals last year and provided audiences with a captivating look at the American drive for exploration.
Fallen Journalist Portrait Project - Leonid Karas
The earliest recorded name goes back to Samaria in 3000 BC, long before the earliest recorded portrait. The power of a remembered name to conjure a person is a power that has been long known. In this faux quilt, the name of Leonid Karas, who was murdered almost 70 years ago, is preserved against a map of Europe at the time of his death: a world divided into East and West at height of the Cold War. Learn more about our Fallen Journalists Portrait Project series: https://loom.ly/s4Aa2Pc
Fallen Journalist Portrait Project - Georgi Markov
RFE/RL contributor Georgi Markov was killed after being stabbed in the leg with an umbrella containing the lethal poison ricin. He was the target of three separate assassination attempts. The final attempt was staged in London on September 11, 1978. Our Fallen Journalists Portrait Project series honors Markov by drawing upon the Pop Art movement originated in the late 1960s. The tragic stranger-than-fiction death of Georgi Markov has all the trademarks of suspense genre fiction; exotic settings, international intrigue, and a cold war backdrop.

Fallen Journalists Portrait Project - Nazar Abdulwahid Al-Radhi
RFE/RL correspondent Nazar Abdulwahid Al-Radhi was shot and killed in the southern city of Al-Amarah, Iraq on May 30, 2007, as he was leaving a journalism workshop. He had been previously threatened because of his work for a “foreign agency” and his uncompromising stand against extremism. Thirteen years later, our Fallen Journalists Portrait Project series honors his life and commitment to press freedom. USAGM's Art Director Steve Fuchs uses the art technique scratchboard, which is a form of direct engraving where the artist scratches off dark ink to reveal a white clay layer beneath.
Happy 35th Anniversary to Radio Martí! It was thirty-five years ago today, Radio Martí began broadcasting uncensored news and information to Cubans living on the press-restricted island. Today, the Office of Cuba Broadcasting (OCB) operates a multimedia hub of analysis, information and news and continues to be a trusted news source. Join us in celebrating their accomplishments over the years! #35RadioMartiContigo

I nderuar zoti Michael Pack
Ju lutem , me lejoni se pari t’ju uroj emerimin tuaj ne kete detyre nga Presidenti Trump dhe miratuar nga senati i SH B A
I don’t know what happened, bat I know that Voice of America is nun in a terrible manner, terrible . And they’re not the Voice of America . They’re the opposite of the Voice of America . And we have a man who’s wery good. I don’t know . He’s in the nominating process . say President Trump
Emerimin tuaj ne ate detyre e kemi pritur me interes edhe ne qe kohen e diktatures e ndiqnim VOA me dyer e dritare te mbyllura dhe batanijen mbi koke, me amkthin dhe friken e pergjimit, ndersa sot e shohim me keqardhje per cvlersimin e saje ne prezantim .
-Ngjarjet e fundit ne Amerike nuk jane thjeshte veprime uliganesh .
This is the wery definition of totalitarionisn . - shprehet Presidenti Trump me 4.7.20
Ky totalitarizem nuk mbiu me nje dite por ai eshte mbjelle pergjate perjudhes 75 vjecare nga Ariu i bardhe( Rusia) dhe vasalet e saji .
Familja e Elez Biberajt, te cilin ju e keni emeruar drejtor ne detyre te VOA , munde te jete njera prej tyre . Ai munde te pezantohet si emigrant politik por kjo nuk eshte e vertete pasi babai i tije ka kryer krime me arme ne dore per te vendosur me dhune pushtetin komunist ne Shqiperi dhe per ashpersine e treguar eshte derguar oficer drejtimi ne burgun e Gjirokastres ku nga torturat dhe keq trajtimet kane vdekur me qindra antikomuniste .
Jo nuk do ta gjykonim Elez Biberajn per bemat e babait te tije por veprimet e kryera
dhe te mos kryera nga ky person ne VOA, seksjoni Shqip, deshmojne se ai eshte ne gjurmet marksiste te te jatit .
-Jane nje numer ngjarjesh te rendesishme qe lidhen me abuzimet kriminale te liderit Berisha ( bashke qytetas e miq) te cilat nuk jane prekur nga VOA
-Drejtori Biberaj ka larguar dy ikona te persekutimit , motrat Islami, dhe e ka mbushur seksjonin Shqip te VOA me komuniste e bije komunistesh, konkretisht
1- Arben Xhixho i biri i sekretarit te partise se komunisteve te Shqiperise ne nje nga fermat me te rendesishme . Vete eshte pranuar komunist qe ne moshe te re . Gazetare ne radio televizjonin Shqiptare, sektor i rendesishem i propagandes se komunisteve Shqiptare
2- Kejda Kostreci e bija e sekretares se partise se komunisteve te Shqiperise ne nje shkolle te mesme . Vjerri i saje , komandant i njesive qe mbronin Diktatorin Enver Hoxha .
4-Laura Siliqi e bija e poetit dhe mikut te Diktatorit Enver Hoxha
5-Ardita Danollari . Vjerri komandant i kundrajrorit qe mbronte diktatorin Enver Hoxha nga USA
6-Ilir Ikonomi . Studjuar ne Kine, gazetare i seksjonit , Shqiptaret jasht atdheut . Seksjon i rendesishem i preopagandes se komunisteve Shqiptare .
Jo, ky staf i perzgjedhur nga Drejtori Biberaj nuk munde te percoje frymen e lirise dhe demokracise se USA per te cilin eshte krijuar kjo radjo dikur e nderuar .
Fara e komunizmit percjell vetem fryme Marksiste .
Jam i sigurt se Presidenti Trump nuk do te pranonte qe VOA te percillej nga ky element e te kishte ne drejtim antiamerikan te kamufluar si Biberaj .
Me konsiderate per personin tuaj

Sonam Lama July 9th 2020
Dear Micheal Pack,
Thank you for working so hard to clean up the organization Radio Free Asia, specifically the Tibetan portion. Over the years this organization has become the dictator messenger for the Middle Way Path which does not allow for true free speech and fair press. Anyone who supports the “Free Tibet Movement” has been silenced and shut down. Also anyone who supports religious freedom has not been given their fair chance to speak out. Instead Radio Free Asia has demonized people who disagree with the policy of The 14th Dalai Lama's Middle Way Path and supports the segregation among Tibetan people and now Tibetan unity has been completely destroyed. This is also a waste of American tax payers dollars.
The people who are currently running the organization (Kaldem Lodoe, director of Tibetan service, Palden Gyal, the deputy director) lack the proper education to do so. They have never demonstrated an understanding of the meaning of free press or democracy. They were hired by Libby Lui with no qualifications for the job.
I trust with this regime change the organization will be making better decisions, support the Freedom of all Tibetans and not waste taxpayers money. Perhaps you will consider rehiring Jigme Ngapo.
Sincerely Yours,
Sonam Lama

· This is the D.A for 22 District Courts in Northeast, Colorado.
Brittny Lewton doesn't feel your pain, because she's been indicted for abusing painkillers.. However, her attorney, Boulder D.A. (Dewey, Cheatem and Howe) says conduct, should not count...ethics are for other people, and behavior doesn't matter. This woman is STILL the D.A.! The only way she can be removed is impeachment, if she loses her license to practice law or if voters recall her.
9,000 signatures would remove her from office.
Colorado Secretary of State | 1700 Broadway, Suite 200, Denver CO 80290 | 303-894-2200
C.R.S. Title 1 Elections
In order to recall a state officeholder (Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, members of the General Assembly, members of the State Board of Education, members of the CU Board of Regents, members of the RTD Board of Directors, and District Attorney), a recall petition must be created and approved by the Secretary of State’s office prior to obtaining signatures. Recall petitions for county offices must be approved by the county clerk & recorder prior to circulation. Members of Congress and US Senators may not be recalled.
An elected official must hold office for 6 months before a recall can be attempted (this rule does not apply to members of the General Assembly, who can be recalled 5 days after the start of the legislative session). No recall can be attempted against an elected official whose term of office will expire within 6 months.
The signature threshold to place a recall question on the ballot for a state or county elected official is 25% of the total votes cast at the last preceding general election for that office.
If a recall petition is found to have a sufficient number of valid signatures, the question of whether to recall the officeholder is placed on the ballot. Below the recall question on the ballot, recall successor candidates will be listed as choices for voters—the officeholder being recalled cannot be a successor candidate. Recall successor candidates access the ballot via the petition rules in 1-4-801 and 1-4-802 of Colorado Revised Statutes.
For laws and rules on recall elections, please refer to Article XXI of the Colorado state constitution (PDF), Article 12 of Title I of the Colorado Revised Statutes, and Rule 15 (PDF) of Secretary of State Election Rules.
Amazing now, Heartly thanks
