Arbitrary arrests of civilians in Somaliland region thread

Carafaadkii meeshaan aan ku aqaanay miyaa mise qof kale? Haddaa tahay, welcome back.

Meeshaan ka keentay 'personal dislike' for Waqooyi Galbeed ma'ogi. I never disliked any region nor people of Soomaaliya. I only abhor secessionists, meeshee rabaan ha joogaanee.

Booliiska Somaliland oo xabsiga dhigay Sabaax Cabdi Ibraahim oo katirsan xisbiga Waddani

Booliiska Somaliland, ayaa xabsiga u taxaabay Sabaax Cabdi Ibraahim (xaaska siyaasi Buubaa) oo ah xubin katirsan xisbiga Waddani, sababta xadhigeeda ayaa loo malaynaya kadib markii codad ay Somaliland waxa kaga sheegaysa ku baaheen baraha bulshada.

Waxa baraha bulshada ku baahay cod ay leedahay Sabaax oo ay ku sheegayso in calankeedu yahay ka buluuga ah ee Soomaaliya isla markaana anay aaminsanayn calanka Somaliland.

Codkan baraha bulashada ku baahay ayaa waxa kale oo ay Sabaax waxba kama jiraan ku tilmaantay qaranimada ay Somaliland ku andacoonayso.

Sidookale Sabaax waxay marar kala duwan kasoo muuqatay baraha bulshada iyadoo ku labisan calanka Soomaaliya isla markaana dowlada Soomaaliya ku taageeraysa dacwada badda ee kala dhaxaysa Kenya.

Sabaax waxay kasoo muuqatay shirweynihii saddexaad ee xisbiga mucaaradka ah ee Waddani oo dhawaan magaalada Hargaysa lagu qabtay.

So you are in support of Kikuuyo claiming our seas?gabadhan dhiiga somalinimada ka hadli siiyey taageer ama ka aamus!

[galbeedi]

In Mogadishu while flying from Hargeisa, you could bring the Somaliland flag with no questions asked. It all about confidence. 

If you are a witness to a murder which might implicate the boss of the " Cosa Nostra" they have to find you before you testify in a court. The problem is too many Landers are willing to testify for the prosecution and convict the boss.

Ciidanka Somaliland oo xabsiga dhigay 15 wariye oo ka howlgasha magaalada Hargeysa

Ciidanka ammaanka Somaliland ayaa maanta xabsiga dhigay 15 wariye oo ka kala tirsan warbaahinta ka shaqeysa magaalada Hargeysa, kaddib markii shaqaaqo ay ka dhacday xabsiga weyn ee magaalada Hargeysa.

Qaar kamid ah saxufiyiinta la xiray ayaa isugu jira kuwo ka howlgalla warbaahinta bulshada iyo kuwo xabsiga u tagay in ay kasoo warramaan dhacdada.

Ciidanka ammaanka ayaa galay xarunta warbaahinta Horncable TV, halkaasi oo lix saxafi ay ka wateen, iyagoona qaatay labo kamid ah kaamirooyinka.

Ururka Saxufiyiinta Somaliland ee SOLJA, ayaa xaqiijiyay in ciidanka markii dambe ay sii daayeen Sagal Mustafa oo ka shaqeysa VOA iyo saxufiyad kale oo la yiraahdo Naciima.

Saddex kamid ah suxufiyiinta oo ay kamid yihiin Xasan Galeydh iyo suxufi kale oo la yiraahdo Axmed ayaa ilaa iyo hadda aan la oggeyn halka ay ku xiranyihiin, waxaana taasi walwal ka muujinaya qoysaskooda iyo Ururka Saxufiyiinta Somaliland ee SOLJA.

Ugu yaraan saddex askari oo ka tirsan ciidanka ilaalada xabsiyada ayaa ku dhaawacantay shaqaaqadii maanta ka dhacday xabsiga weyn ee magaalada Hargeysa, kaddib markii qaar kamid ah maxaabiista ay dhagaxaan ku weerareen ilaalada xabsiga.

Taliyaha ciidanka asluubta Somaliland, Axmed Yuusuf Cawaale Libaax, ayaa beeniyay warar soo baxay oo sheegayay in maxaabiista ay qoryaha ka qaateen ciidanka, isagoona hoosta ka xariiiqay in ay u qabaan dacwo dadkii baahiyay wararkaasi, inkasta oo uusan cidna carabaabin.

Balse waxaa la fahamsanyahay dadka ay dacwada u qabaan in ay yihiin saxufiyiinta ay xirxireen.

Wakiilka dawladda Ingiriiska u joogta Somaliland Lizzie Walker, ayaa sheegtay in ay ka walaacsanyihiin suxufiyiinta la xiray, iyadoona intaasi raacisay in xorriyada saxaafadda ay tahay tiirka dimuqraadiyadda.

Arrest them All. Fake journalists keep on getting arrested by the Fake or HabroLand nation...

Shirwac what makes them fake journalists 

[baala xoofto]

The Hargeisa journalists are too free. They are abusing their freedom to operate a free press. They sensationalise everything.   

A prison infighting between two prisoners and the custodial police open fire into the sky to disperse. All of a sudden they are Live on Social Media "Breaking news, there is fighting going on inside Hargeisa Prison... gun fire is being exchanged". Nope. Just warning shots were fired. 

 

 

[Shurwac]

Fake because no ethical journalism standards what so ever, once released they all be singing Hail to king Bihi - the same reason he keeps locking them up - they’re after clickbait.

 

Btw - Fake journalism is at every Somali region...

Gunfire in any jail anywhere will make the news unless one lives in a hermit kingdom.  And if they are sensualizing the matter, that's still not enough good reason to lock them up.

[baala xoofto]

They will be released but the lock up is just to send a message that they should check and seek information before going live or assuming things that are not true.

Journalists Arrested While Covering Prison Scuffle in Somaliland

Police in Somalia's breakaway Somaliland region arrested at least seven journalists Wednesday, including a VOA reporter, as they covered a prison scuffle in the region's capital, Hargeisa.

VOA Somali stringer Sagal Mustafe Hassan was freed after a short detention, but the other journalists remained in custody at Hargeisa's central police station.

Among the journalists arrested were BBC reporter Hassan Gallaydh, local MM TV journalist Mohamed Ilig and Ahmed Mohamud Yusuf of Saab TV.

Authorities did not say why the journalists were arrested. Colleagues and family members told VOA that some of them were broadcasting live at the time of their arrest outside the prison, where about 150 criminal and terror convicts are held.

"There are people who misinformed the public about the small incident that happened at the prison. We hold them accountable, and we will not allow such people to go unpunished," said the commander-in-chief of the Somaliland Custodial Corps, Brigadier General Ahmed Awale Yusuf, in a news conference following the incident.

On March 18, gunmen later identified as members of the intelligence services attacked three journalists riding in a car in Hargeisa and kidnapped one of them, freelance online journalist Abdisalan Ahmed Awad.

On Monday, The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) called for the release of Abdisalan, who remains in custody.

"Authorities in the breakaway region of Somaliland should unconditionally release freelance online journalist Abdisalan Ahmed Awad and hold the intelligence officers who harassed and assaulted him and two other journalists responsible," CPJ said.

Somaliland is a breakaway republic from Somalia that has not won international recognition since it declared its cessation from Somalia in 1991, following the ousting of the Siyad Barre regime.

In an interview with VOA Somali, during a visit in Washington in March, Somaliland President Muse Bihi Abdi said he has secured pledges of increased U.S. support for his self-declared state.

Even as formal recognition remains off the table for the time being, he urged the international community to recognize his territory's quest for independence, saying negotiations with Somalia had failed.

Unlike southern Somalia, Somaliland has been enjoying relative peace, has its own military and police money, and has received credit for holding democratic elections, but rights groups often accuse Somaliland authorities of being hostile toward journalists.

If you hear a gun shot from your neighbours house, you don't go to the Police and inform about gangs fighting in your neighbourhood. Two completely different stories. Gangs fighting in your neighbourhood is very different from hearing a gunshot from your neighbours house.

No, you tell what you know and that is "you only heard gunshots from the direction of your neighbours house". Nothing more and nothing less. Anything more and anything less is just falsifying the story.

These so journos are on record of broadcasting unsubstantiated claims such as gun fight occurring in the prison. No. There was no gun fight. A gun fight is between two or more people each holding guns at each other and firing. That is not the case here. It was Prison guard using their guns to bring inmates to obey orders. 

These journos will be held in detention until they learn their mistakes and make sure they do not reach their own conclusions with any information to back up their claims.
