While Somaliland detains journos for disciplinary reasons, we do not kill a single journalist not for the last 31 years. Nada, Zero.

While Somalia tops the world for killing journalists.

This Sheekh speaks about the dangers of Too Free, Careless, Journalism. 

Exactly the reasons why these Journalists are now facing charges of false reporting, inventing their own facts and speaking about an issue they have very little knowledge or information about. In the process misleading their viewers and the world. 

Journalism should be one that is based on facts, seeking information from sources.

Two Somali journalists sentenced to 16 months in jail for false news

In response to news reports and statements from local rights groups that the Hargeisa Regional Court in the breakaway region of Somaliland sentenced journalists Mohamed Abdi Ilig and Abdijabar Mohamed Hussein to 16 months imprisonment for subversion and false news on Monday, the Committee to Protect Journalists issued the following statemet condemning the verdict:

“Mohamed Abdi Ilig and Abdijabar Mohamed Hussein should never have been arrested for simply covering a breaking news story in real time, and we are deeply disappointed by the convictions and harsh sentences handed down to them,” said Angela Quintal, CPJ’s Africa program coordinator. “Appealing these spurious convictions through Somaliland’s flawed justice system would be unjust, lengthy, and uncertain. Time is of the essence for these two innocent journalists, one of whom is seriously ill. Authorities must not further undermine Somaliland’s already precarious press freedom environment and should ensure the release of the journalists immediately, without condition.”

Mohamed, a reporter and chairperson of MM Somali TV, Abdirahman Ali Khalif, a reporter for Gobonimo TV, and Abdijabar, a reporter for Horn Cable TV, were among 18 journalists arrested on April 13 in connection to their coverage of a fight between inmates and guards at the Hargeisa Central Prison in the region’s capital, as CPJ documented at the time. The majority of the journalists were eventually released, according to a statement by the Mogadishu-based press rights organization, the Somali Journalists Syndicate (SJS). Mohamed is seriously ill and his condition worsened while in jail, according to Yasmin Omar Mohamoud, chair of the local advocacy group Human Rights Centre Somaliland, CPJ was not able to obtain details of his medical condition.

Mohamed, Abdijabar, and Abdirahman were charged under Articles 215 and 328 of the penal code relating to “subversive or anti-national propaganda” or publishing false news, according to Human Rights Centre Somaliland and a joint statement by SJS and the Somali Media Association (SOMA). The pair were sentenced in a “hasty” hearing that took place “without the knowledge of the defense lawyers and family members of the defendants,” according to the joint SJS and SOMA statement. The court acquitted Abdirahman.

Xamar iskaga noolaada u dhaantay.

Muwaadin reer Jabuuti ah oo Somaliland loogu xidhay eedo uu u jeediyay madaxda Jabuuti awgeed

Aarre Saleebaan Cowleed, oo ah muwaadin reer Jabuuti ah oo muddo ku noolaa Somaliland, ayaa loo taxaabay xabsiga magaalada Gabilay oo uu ku noolyahay, kadib dhaliilo  uu baraha bulshada uga jeediyay madaxweynaha Jabuuti.

Aarre oo muuqaal qarsoodi ah iskaga soo duubay gudaha saldhiga booliiska ee Gabilay, ayaa sheegay in aanu garanayn, waxa loosoo xidhay, uuna ka baqanayo in loo gacan galiyo dowlada Jabuuti, wuxuuna shacabka Somaliland ka codsaday in ay bad baadiyaan.

"Waa Aare Suleebaan Cowleed oo jeelka Gabilay ku xidhan, oo wax losoo xidhay aan garanayn, markaa, wakaa dee, dadkuna ha i ogaadan waxa laygu xidhay waa waddankii abtiyaaladay, markaa sidii Qalbidhagax in aan la i gudbin, 4 tii milyan ama 9 kii milyan, ee abtiyaaladay ee Isaaq dee ha ii sarakacaan maanta" ayuu yidhi Aare.

Aarre ayaa muuqaal uu soo duubay intii aan la xidhin kahor, waxa uu sheegay in dowlada Jabuuti ay Somaliland ka codsatay in la aamusiiyo, oo aanu mar danbe Somaliland gudaheeda kasoo dhaliilin madaxda Jabuuti " Saaka waxa isoo gaadhay fariin uu soo faray taliskii Jabuuti, oo uu leeyahay, 'ninka abtiyaaladiin baad tihiine ama muuqaalada ka joojiya, ama noosoo gudbiya' reeraha yagii xagan joogay ayaa lala soo hadlay".

Garyaqaan Guleed Axmed Jaamac (Dafac) oo kamid ah garyaqaanada reer Somaliland ee u dhaq dhaqaaqa xoriyada hadalka, ayaa qoraal uu ku baahiyay baraha bulshada ku sheegay in loo xaqiijiyay in Aarre loo haysto, dhaliisha uu u jeediyay madaxda Jabuuti.

"Waxa la ii xaqiijiyay in xadhigga Aarre Sulayman Cawleed uu la xidhiidho dhaliilo la sheegay inuu u jeediyay madaxwaynaha Jibuuti. Waxa cid walba oo damiir leh waajib ku ah inuu ugu baaqo xukuumadda Somaliland: 1. In aanay u dhiibin Aarre xukuumadda Jabuuti. 2. Inay xorriyadiisa u soo celiso" ayuu yidhi Dafac.

Wali xukuumada Somaliland may faah faahin xadhiga Aarre oo hooyadii kula noolaa magaalada Gabilay, isla markaana aan si xora ugu noolaan karin waddankiisa Jabuuti, xukuumada Jabuuti oo uu ka fikir duwanyahay awgeed.

There are other reports that say this man already had problems with his balls from previous injury which happened 2018. 

There is a possibility that he could have been hurt, but there was nothing like what you are trying to describe here which is deliberate attack and injury. Nothing like that happened. 

In any case, this is minor issue that will be investigated and will be see due justice.

But the stories that come out of South Somalia are on a level of inhumane and barbarianism unlike any other. Consider this story that is out from Kismaayo. Ahmed Madoobe's men looted his home, then they burned it down and after all that they shot him in the abdomen and framed the poor man from Gedo region.

Of course stories like these always go unreported.

And the idiocy from Waqooyiga continues. They are now 'banning' BBC Soomaali from Hargeysa because oradyahan Maxamed Faarax called Waqooyi Galbeed to be part of Soomaaliya in a documentary that aired on BBC. The documentary was aired by BBC, not even BBC Soomaali. Laakiin dadka iska marqaansan in la maaweeliyo la rabaa:

War nimankii HAG, meel walba Waa qabsadeen,  kudos to them  

Nepotism?  Both voa and bbc lost quality 

[baala xoofto]

Very very poor quality, now it borders trolling levels. 

The number of spelling mistakes in their articles. Also the lack of translation of words. I have seen them use English words just in Somali style lettering. 

"Fake it til' you make it" ayay wanla wayn meel walba ku qabsatay.

Somaliland officials have no jobs if they are investing their time listening to cantarabaqash by randomTiktokers!! War nimanka meesha wax kuma hayaan waa ku qayilaan miyaa??

Well, when you are doing your job to protect the people, you will not only have to keep a watch on the Niiko-mania but also the nasty ones too. You may even befriend them so you know better how they are wired. It is all part of the job. 

 

You will never know, the experience this particular Tiktoker gets from being slapped down, may actually be beneficial to her.  I can think of a Puntlander lady who went by the name of Nasteexo Indho who also got deported from Somaliland for similar "uncultured" behaviour. This lady has since got hitched to a Somalilander and she has turned her life around.
