While member stations of the Independent Radio Network in Sierra Leone pledge to use radio responsibly and ethically, radio is still a tool and as much as it can be used to educate and enlighten, it can also be used to incite violence and hatred. No where has this been more true than Milles Collines in Rwanda. More recently radio has also played a negative role in the aftermath of Kenya's 2007 elections. Hi Augustine,
