SOJRA is desperately welcome the three day
conference for the Somali journalist held in Nairobi
by IFJ through NUSOJ. It is also welcoming Aidan
white the secretary general of IFJ to meet with some
Somali journalist in Nairobi specially NUSOJ members
and other supporters. |
Mogadishu 25
July,2009 ::
SOJRA is encouraging IFJ to give the Somali journalist
the support they pledged early and in this conference.
Aidan met here in Nairobi some Somali journalist from
NUSOJ and others from other media organizations
particularly those who are NUSOJ supporters and
none-media people from the entire Somali population as
well as policy makers and it was a good step for IFJ and
Aidan himself.
It was a meeting that was supposed to happen very early
time and we are sure IFJ will know more about Somali
Journalist, Specially those victims who came here
Nairobi for treatment and those who were given warning
by Islamist who control most of southern Somalia.
This meeting came also, as SOJRA executive director Daud
Abdi Daud announced on 5th July that there
will be 7 day meeting here in Nairobi for SOJRA
executive directors from 20th – 27th
July 2009 to discuss why international community is not
given Somali journalists the same support given to Iraqi
and Afghan journalists and ways the international
organization can be encouraged to support the Somali
journalist who fled from Somalia and suffering here in
Nairobi.
SOJRA believes the meeting could be jealous one, but
whatever it is, SOJRA’s executive officers’ meeting is
still going and at the end of this meeting SOJRA will
make press release targeting the theme discussed in the
7 day meeting.
Abdihakim Omar Jimale was among the victim journalist
attended that conference and IFJ pledged Abdihakim he
will be given support, and SOJRA is expecting that
pledge will be soon seen. Abdihakim was injured on the
left hand on 11th August 2007 by unknown
militias, the same day killed Ali Iman Sharmake the
Director Hornafrik and Mahad Ilmi who was the director
of Capital Voice, at that time Abdihakim was working the
government media Mogadishu.
Abdihakim met with Aidan White and explained for him
about his medical situation.
Finally SOJRA will
make follow up how IFJ is serious about the support they
pledged for the wounded Somali Journalist, the others
who are still struggling for continuing their work and
those who fled the country.
