Sadai Banowan, a women-run radio station in northeastern Afghanistan has resumed broadcasting after the Taliban shut it down for playing music during the holy month of Ramadan.

Sadai Banowan, which means ‘women’s voice’ in Dari, started 10 years ago in Badakhshan province and has eight staff, six of them female.

Moezuddin Ahmadi, the director for Information and Culture in Badakhshan, said the station was allowed to resume activities on Thursday after it had obeyed the “laws and regulations of the Islamic Emirate” and agreed to stop broadcasting any kind of music.

Station head Najia Sorosh said after the station “gave a commitment to officials at the information and culture department, they unlocked the door of the station,” and they started broadcasting again.

The Afghan Journalist Safety Committee, an Afghan watchdog organization that promotes the safety of journalists and press freedom and which was involved in mediation for the station’s reopening, welcomed the resumption of broadcasts.

“Following AJSC’s advocacy efforts, Sadia Banowan radio resumed its broadcasts,” it said in a tweet.
