NASSIR Posted December 22, 2007 Somalia: Kidnapped French Journalist Accused of Criminal Links Garowe Online (Garowe) 20 December 2007 Posted to the web 21 December 2007 The president of Somalia's self-governing region of Puntland accused a kidnapped French journalist of having links to local human traffickers, a local paper reported today. Puntland President Mohamud "Adde" Muse made the comment Wednesday while addressing thousands of people in the town of Qardho who had gathered to pray and celebrate the Muslim festival of Eid-ul-Adha. President Muse claimed the journalist, Gwen Le Gouil, was kidnapped by the same group of human traffickers he had links with. The journalist was kidnapped earlier this week by Somali gunmen who have demanded an $US80,000 ransom payment. French embassy officials arrived in the port city of Bossaso on Thursday to help negotiate for the journalist's release. In recent years, Puntland has become the hub for would-be migrants who plan to take the dangerous journey across the Red Sea to Yemen, where they hope to move on to wealthier nations. The Puntland leader also spoke about Sool region, which was taken from Puntland by separatist troops from Somaliland enclave. President Muse vowed to get Sool back soon, saying that the region was attacked because of the lucrative oil deals he had signed with foreign companies. For the first time, the Puntland president said he will run for a second term in office when presidential elections come in January 2009. He indicated that a multi-party political system will be introduced in Puntland soon, but did not elaborate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NASSIR Posted December 22, 2007 French journalist held in Somalia asks for help Bosasso, Dec 20, 2007- A French journalist abducted by Somali gunmen wants international media watchdogs to press for his release, a Somali journalist related to the kidnappers said on Thursday. The group that seized Gwen Le Gouil is demanding $80 000 for his release. It is holding him in the mountainous village of Mareero, 30km east of Putland's Bosasso port. "I saw him and he is fine. He told me that he was worried about his family," Awale Jama Salad, a local journalist who belongs to the same clan as the kidnappers, told Reuters. "He said his abductors were treating him humanely and he asked the international organisations that advocate for journalists to do something for his release." Somali kidnappers are known to treat their captives well, considering them assets on which they expect a return in the form of ransom. Puntland's Trade and Industries Minister Abdisamad Yusuf Abwan said French embassy delegations were in the country to negotiate for the release of Le Gouil, who was seized on Sunday. "They [delegations] will be here as long as the negotiations are underway and we are hopeful the French journalist will be released without conditions very soon," the minister said. Another official said Le Gouil had entered the semi-autonomous Puntland region illegally. "He arrived in Bosasso illegally. He did not contact the authorities but rather had made a direct deal with the gunmen," said Yusuf Mumin Bidde, deputy governor of Bari province in Puntland, while addressing a gathering on Wednesday. Many foreigners in Somalia run foul of local clans by failing to seek permission to travel through their territories. - Reuters Source: Mail & Guardian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
