Somalia launches anti-al-Shabab TV channel

[BetterDaysAhead]

Somalia has launched a new TV channel named Daljir to counter al-Shabab’s propaganda as the government intensifies its media campaign against the al-Qaeda-allied militant group.

The state media reported that President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud inaugurated the SNTV Daljir (Somali National TV Daljir) channel - which "will focus on anti-Khawarij (al-Shabab) operations".

Days earlier, the government said it had shut down over 500 social media accounts spreading al-Shabab’s ideologies.

Al-Shabab has a sophisticated media machinery that includes several affiliated media outlets and dozens of accounts across social media platforms.

On 8 October, the government banned local media from disseminating "extremist ideology messages" that would "endanger national security".

The information ministry said the crackdown on pro-militant media was part of "an all-out war" against al-Shabab that President Mohamud declared in August.

If the somali gov is serious about fighting alshabaab, they should understand the root of the problem; Wahhabism. They should battle Wahhabism and Salafism in every way permissible by the law of the land. Madrassas, Masjids, libraries, mainstream media...... leave no stone unturned.

Nacas the root cuz is the corruption and non existence of state institution in the country and the presence of foreign gaalo forces which was the reason of why AS launched its operations in last decade or so.
