WardheerNews.com is an online magazine launched on November 23, 2004. WardheerNews.com was created at a time when information about the East and Horn of Africa, in general, and Somalia, in particular, was limited, scarce and one-sided. WardheerNews.com was created to fill that void. It was started by a group of visionary Somalis to create an equal platform of exchange and discussion. Soon after its launch, WardheerNews.com reached faraway places, to a great number of people hungry for the rich content it provided. Consequently, Somali intellectuals, professionals, poets and poetess, women and youth found it as the intellectual forum to discuss and debate important issues.
