Question

After Soviet training in this industry, the “Terrorist Maria” Amélia Araújo (“ah-MAIL-yah ah-rah-OO-zhoo”) created Libertação (“lee-bair-tah-SAO”), which was operated by the PAIGC from Swedish trucks. Amílcar Cabral’s career began with an agronomy speech for this industry’s Clube de Cabo Verde, a counterpart of its clubs run by colonial Psychosocial Action services in São Tomé, Angola, and Mozambique. Antonio Cubillo (“koo-BEE-yo”) led the Canary Islands Independence Movement via one of these companies in Algiers. After an oil boom, a state-run company in this industry infamously declared Teodoro Obiang a god in Equatorial (10[1]-5[1])Guinea. Alongside Kangura magazine, animateurs denounced “cockroaches” (10[1])via one (10[1])of these (10[1])companies (10[3])named, (10[1])like (10[2])a hotel, for a country’s “thousand hills.” For 10 points, what industry’s (10[1])company RTLM issued violent propaganda (10[2])like “cut down (10[1])the (10[1])tall trees” (10[3])on its Hutu Power broadcasts? ■END■ (10[2])

ANSWER: radio [accept FM radio, AM radio, shortwave stations, medium wave, Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines, Emissora Nacional, or Rádio Libertação; prompt on media, networks, broadcasting, propaganda, information, telecommunications, communication, stations, or transmissions; prompt on RTLM or RCM or RCA by asking “what does that stand for?”] (“Maria Turra” means “Terrorist Maria.” The causal role often attributed to RLTM in the Rwandan genocide is likely exaggerated, although it may be implicated in some killings.)
