Radio Mashaal & RFERL’s North Macedonia Service to close down on 31st March '26

RFE/RL’s North Macedonia Service (@RSE_Makedonski) and Pashto-language service, Radio Mashaal (@MashaalRadio) will close on March 31, 2026.

RFE/RL President & CEO @SteveCapus :

“The closure of these two services is a loss for the audiences they serve. But RFE/RL’s current budgetary environment compels us to reprioritize how we distribute our resources. This decision was made with a profound appreciation for the work these teams have done, and the standard of excellence they have upheld.”
