Traditional and informal channels of communication
The role played by local chiefs and government officials in gathering and disseminating information at the community level is crucial.
The traditional chiefs, appointed by their own communities, are called regulos. They have been important intermediaries between local communities and central government since colonial times.
The government-appointed local administrators at village level are known as
chefes de posto administrativo.
There is a regulo in virtually every village. These people are well connected to the community grapevine. They are invariably the first to hear about events in remote areas where there are no government officials or police.
The regulo is normally the person who reports new developments to the state authorities, especially in the north, where government officials are more thinly spread on the ground.
Outsiders are expected to introduce themselves to the local regulo or chefe de
posto as soon as they arrive in a rural area.
