WTF are you crying about what Freedom House wrote about Somaliland in the past? Address what they have written them now.
@The Crowe asked for Freedom House 2021 report, same year and same organisation as the map he has linked.
Some quick statistics.
In 2021, Somaliland is still a ZERO out of 4 on the free and fair elections of representatives. Somalia has the same rating.
(
If I was allowed to provide comment, I would not consider this stat as Somaliland had elections recently but Crowe told me to shut up and use Freedom House)
Somaliland has a ONE out of 4 for these categories: freedom of elected officials to determine policy, safeguards against corruption,
freedom of media,
freedom of speech,
freedom of assembly, protection from illegitimate use of force, freedom of personal social choices, equality of opportunity and freedom from exploitation
What is highlighted in bold is the same score as Somalia.
----------
Here is what Freedom House 2021 report said about Somaliland:
On corruption:
"Somaliland has
few institutional safeguards against corruption and nepotism.
Prosecutions of officials for malfeasance are rare. Former president Ahmed Mohamed Mohamoud “Silanyo” took some measures to combat corruption, but
the anticorruption commission he created in 2010 has been ineffective."
On freedom of media:
"A variety of print, television, and online news outlets operate, but many have political affiliations, and the
state-run broadcaster has a monopoly in the radio sector. The penal code
criminalizes defamation and other vaguely defined press offenses, such as circulation of “false, exaggerated, or tendentious news.” The
government has restricted the registration of new newspapers.The government continued to
target journalists and outlets in 2020. "
"In late June, police officers
ordered the staff of Star TV to vacate their Hargeisa office. Two days later, Hargeisa
police raided the offices of Universal TV and ordered their staff to vacate. Star TV was reportedly
raided for hosting a debate that focused on the Somalia-Somaliland talks, while Universal TV was accused of broadcasting events celebrating Somalian independence. The
authorities revoked the licenses of both stations that month."
Freedom of Speech:
"While individuals can express themselves with relative freedom on political matters, remarks on sensitive social and cultural issues are increasingly subject to censure and retribution.
Recent arrests and convictions for controversial social media posts has contributed to greater self-censorship online among residents."
Freedom of Assembly:
"The constitution allows for freedom of assembly, but
organized public demonstrations are infrequent, and the authorities have sometimes
employed violence to disperse protests."
Freedom from illegitimate violence:
"Somaliland’s police and security forces have been
accused of using excessive force, and
conditions in detention centers are harsh and overcrowded."
Freedom of personal social choices:
"
Personal social freedoms are constrained by several factors. Marriages between members of major and minor clans are stigmatized.
Female genital mutilation (FGM) is common. In 2018, the Ministry of Religious Affairs released a religious edict banning one common type of FGM, but
human rights groups criticized the edict for not fully prohibiting the practice."
"
Domestic violence remains a serious problem, and
rape is rarely reported to authorities due to social pressures against such complaints. The Sexual Offenses Bill, which criminalized many forms of gender-based violence (GBV), was signed in 2018 by President Bihi, but was subsequently
suspended by the Ministry of Religious Affairs after an outcry from religious leaders. In August 2020, the House of Representatives approved the Rape, Fornication and Other Related Offences Bill, which would
allow for child marriages,
criminalize reports of rape deemed “false,” and would
narrow the definition of rape. "
Freedom from exploitation and equality of opportunity:
"Trafficking in persons for forced labor or sexual exploitation abroad is a serious problem. Refugees from neighboring countries, including Yemen and Ethiopia, and internally displaced people are also vulnerable to exploitation."
