FGS & al shabaab attacks on journalist at all time high


Somalia’s journalists may be operating in one of Africa’s most dangerous zones with state actors and militants targeting them because of their work, a new report shows.

A report released Wednesday by the National Union of Somali Journalists (NUSOJ) accuses government officials, both at federal and regional levels, of being an inherent danger, operating beyond the law to punish both reporters and media houses “with impunity.”

It also shows that al-Shabaab and other militants have increasingly targeted journalists.

In 2021, two senior journalists were killed by unknown gunmen. Jamal Farah Aadan, 56, was gunned down on March 1 in Galkaayo, in Somalia’s Galmudug federal state. Later in November, Abdiaziz Mohamud Guled aka ‘Africa’, a veteran radio broadcaster who criticised Shabaabs on his shows, was blown up in a car park. A suicide bomber standing near the window of his car blew himself up, killing the journalist. Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility in both cases.

Government officials have also been implicated in targeting journalists.

In 2021, the report says, 34 journalists were arrested and detained without charge and four private media houses were temporarily shut down mostly for reporting on subjects that didn’t please authorities.

There is a coordination between FGS and terrorists network al Shabaab in killing Somali journalists , the killing of abdelaziz afrika is a prime example of how security forces from FGS allowed terrorists to slip in high security area near villa Somalia to assassinate the journalist who was working on a sensitive findings of how al shabaab operates in xamar.

Good, promoting terror attcks by constantly video taping the scene is a moral boost to terrorists. Glad the FGS is cracking down, I suggest Goobjoog and Mustaqbal Media be shut down also.
 
Most of the Somali journalists are either Al-Shabaab operatives or spies for foreign governments and intelligence agencies or mercenary firms. People should understand that the Aden Cabdulle guy works for Matt Bryden and Sahan - a mercenary firm that is based in UK and Nairobi, and dedicated itself to oppose every Somali government.

Therefore, any measures carried out by the Federal Government of Somalia is justified against them.

They can attack journalists in Somalia but Harun Maruf and Farhan Jimale work for VOA News and BBC News, so their hands are tied and all they can do is attack them online. Their backward shithole is kept afloat on my tax dollars, that really disturbs me.

Sheikh shareefka was the head of ICU he had nothing to do with al Shabaab.
If you belive farxan qaroole can change then why you support Roobow being illegally detained without any charge ?
