Who behinds the journalists being
murdered, abducted and assaulted whether be citizens
or foreigners?
The Somali Journalists’ Rights Agency (SOJRA) would like
to articulate this page for those behind the killing of
Somali Journalists. Since the overthrow of the
authoritarian Siad Barre government in 1991. a number of
violations against journalists had happened: More than
400 cases of abductions, killings, arrests and
intimidations had been registered by the media advocacy
groups in the country.
As the matter-of-fact, the attacks on the press are not
new phenomena; indeed these barbaric acts dates back in
1991, a time the country had fallen into the era of
anarchy and chaos.
In the light of the above, the most attacks against the
freedom of expression, press and speech were taken a
momentum during 2006, a time that Islamic Courts Union
took power ousting former Somali war loads in south and
central Somalia. ============================================================
