Since 2015 the radio has been in exile after its office in Juba was shut down by the South Sudanese national security service.
[3][4] Radio Tamazuj was launched in 2011 and initially operated out of the South Sudanese capital of Juba.
In 2015, the government shut down its office, interrogated its staff, and deported foreign editors.
[5] Radio Tamazuj operates on shortwave during morning and evening time slots only, broadcasting in local dialect Arabic which makes it very easy for the local people to get what is being said which simplifies the message and informs the public.
Radio Tamazuj also offers Voice of America--VOA broadcasting that encompasses the daily news from South Sudan in its bulletin.
