from the Great Jamahiriyah, then for our dear listeners, a talk in a
series about African countries, Mauritius, going into its basic
geographical facts, 1455 UT languages spoken there, etc. Someone else
reported VOA feature on Mauritius recently, which makes me suspect they
recycle the same programming several times, as previously noted with items
on Martin Luther King, etc. BTW, Dave Kenny in BDXC-UK observes that VOA
is no longer doing short English newscasts at various times, so it seems
for English, this bihour is it.

Voice of Africa's short news summaries in Swahili, Hausa, English and
French which used to follow immediately after the news in Arabic at
various times, appear to have been discontinued. These were carried within
the Arabic service on MW 1251 and 711 kHz as well as intermittently on
various SW frequencies. News in Arabic is still aired at 15 minutes past
the hour, but for the past 3 or 4 months I have not heard anything other
than Arabic.
