New York, September 12, 2011--Authorities in the semi-autonomous republic of Somaliland are obstructing independent journalists from covering government politics, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today. Four reporters have been harassed and arrested while on assignment since early September. "Somaliland authorities must end this crackdown on independent reporting," said CPJ East Africa Consultant Tom Rhodes. "The government must stop harassing journalists and uphold its campaign pledge made last year to support press freedom." On Saturday, officers of Somaliland police Special Protection Unit in the capital, Hargeisa, prevented journalists with the private press from covering the swearing-in ceremony of the new interior minister, Mohamed Nur, local reports said. When reporter Saleban Abdi Ali of the independent weekly Waheen began to protest, officers beat him with the butt of their guns and detained him at the Hargeisa Central Police Station for roughly four hours, local journalists said. Ali sustained light injuries. On September 5, in Burao, Somaliland's second largest city, police arrested Waheen reporter Ahmed Muse and detained him for a week without charge, local journalists said. Muse's colleagues said he was arrested because of a story he wrote on a purported dispute between Yasin Mohamed, the Toghdeer region governor, and regional officials in the sports ministry. Police also questioned reporter Mahad Abdullahi on September 5 over a similar report published in Ogaal, a Hargeisa-based weekly, according to local reports. Authorities released Muse on bail from Burao prison on Sunday. Abdullahi was released after several hours. Also on September 5, police detained Waheen reporter Ali Ismail in Borama town, northern Somaliland, for several hours and released him without charge, local journalists said. Ismail had attempted to investigate reports of the local government physically removing the office doors of businesses who failed pay taxes. Waheen has been targeted by the government before. In January, Somaliland authorities sentenced Waheen editor Mohamud Abdi Jama without bail for defamation and "spreading false news" in a 2010 story alleging public corruption. Jama was granted a presidential pardon the following month. Local journalists told CPJ they suspected the arrest was an attempt to intimidate the newspaper.

Does Somaliland have a secret recipe for 'home-grown' stability in an otherwise turbulent neighbourhood? "When I travel, people often ask me 'so what is Somaliland's secret?' I tell them that it is something they too will have to learn for themselves," says Suad Abdi. Suad Abdi grew up in South Somalia and has recently been appointed as Progressio's new Country Representative for Somaliland (in North West Somalia). Suad Abdi, an inspirational activist on women's issues in Somaliland, is in the UK to speak about why growing up in a fragile region doesn't make you a fragile person and to share her experiences of home-grown nation building and peace in a region better known for conflict, poverty, piracy and most recently for devastating drought and famine. Suad Abdi is in London and available for interview from 12 to 20 September. Suad Abdi is an expert on women's issues in Somaliland and is a founder member of NAGAAD (National Network of Women's Organisations), who are currently campaigning for women's political participation and acceptance in Somaliland. Suad Abdi is keen to talk about the following topics: Why growing up in a fragile region doesn't make you a fragile person. Why the women's movement has been an essential ingredient for successful 'home-grown' nation building in Somaliland. In a society traditionally dominated by male elders, how are women and young people determining their future in Somaliland? The hurdles, hindrances and opportunities encountered on the journey towards equality for women in the region thus far, such as; the challenges of clan loyalties in the voting process, womens' lack of access to funds for political campaigning and how to harness the potential of a majority female voting population. How have peace and stability provided a buffer zone for Somalilanders in the face of the recent drought in the Horn of Africa? Why are good relationships between local governments and grassroots activist groups key to getting aid money to the people who need it most?
