SOJANET has already learned and alarmed that many reporters and media

colleagues were scared to report in the Al shabaab and Al Hisbul-Islam

areas, because insurgents are dangerous to foreign and native

journalists and not much news escapes from there.

“It is sad that journalists are still risking their lives by facing

many times dangerous for reporting this conflict, but SOJANET

completely condemns this brutal and latest captivity of journalist

Bille Mohamed Ali and other unconfirmed number of employees of

http://gobolada.com, and we are calling insurgents or anyone else

involving this latest accident to release the journalist and the other

employees without preconditions”. We however call warring sides or

anyone else to threaten and kill the journalists to stop such bad

deeds”, said SOJANET Secretary General Mohamed Odowa.
