(continued from left column)
Radio de la Paix took over from ONUCI FM, the radio station of the United Nations Operation in Côte d’Ivoire (ONUCI). This initiative was part of the transfer of residual activities of ONUCI in order to consolidate the achievements in the field of communication. It was recommended by the Secretary-General of the United Nations in his special report on ONUCI, on March 31, 2016, to the Security Council, which accepted it.
