A lot of people get their information from social media platforms that they access in a variety of ways. There is a lot of misinformation that circulates on social media platforms, which is one of the things that our programming works to mitigate against. Radio remains king for rural Congo and you can still get information out through radio stations, but for example, in Goma, when the M23 rebels invaded the city in 2012, all the stations were playing music. That was the way that the stations were controlled.
We had a partnership with the National Post and ScribbleLive. We trained our journalists on how to use ScribbleLive technology to get information out to an international audience about what was happening in Goma at that time, which then filtered back to the DRC. It is fundamental that people understand the way in which that government is manipulating these levers in order to facilitate this ongoing campaign of disinformation and a reign of terror. I cannot stress the urgency of that enough.
