161, Mohamed Bah on asylum seekers creating community radio in Amsterdam

On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from community radio host Mohamed Bah, based in Amsterdam, who founded the project City Rights Radio. This is an initiative created by asylum seekers to give voice to the direct perspectives of migrants experiencing and also doing community organizing within the context of the migration crisis in Europe today. The project in Amsterdam is supported by the organization Here to Support in The Netherlands. In the interview Mohamed speaks about his own journey as a refugee from Guinea and the efforts to create alternative media as a pathway to create alternative narratives in the media landscape that both humanize and empower the direct experiences of refugees and migrants in western Europe today.
