MOGADISHU, Somalia, 14 April 2020 – Somali Journalists Syndicate (SJS) condemns the arbitrary arrest of Somali National TV journalist, Adan Mohamed Salad, in Kismayo on Monday 13 April 2020.

According to the journalist and colleagues, Mr. Salad was arrested while filming at Alanley Beach in the coastal town of Kismayo around 12.p.m local time where a boat carrying khat cargo— the stimulant narcotic leaf recently banned by Somalia Federal Government due to the Coronavirus outbreak— was offloaded. He was held for two hours at the police station before he was released without charge.

Somali Journalists Syndicate (SJS) reminds federal and local authorities that journalistic work can save lives in the current emergency situation and should not be threatened, intimidated or arrested for reporting what is in the public interest.

“We condemn all sorts of violations against the press covering the COVID-19 at this critical time including the latest detention of journalist Adan Mohamed Salad in Kismayo,” Abdalle Ahmed Mumin, Secretary General of Somali Journalists Syndicate (SJS) said, “Somali people are struggling the fight against the pandemic coronavirus and in the meantime journalists and media houses are playing important role to inform the public about the ongoing crisis. We call authorities to allow access to information for media and journalists so the public is better informed.”

SJS is also concerned that journalists covering Covid-19 outbreak in Mogadishu and Hargeisa were also intimidated, threatened and —at least— two reporters briefly detained in Mogadishu late last month in the midst of Covid-19 assignment.

Meanwhile, Somali Journalists Syndicate (SJS) welcomes the announcement by the Somali Prime Minister, Hassan Ali Khaire, on Monday evening that media houses and working journalists shall be able to operate during the curfew declared by the Police Chief, General Abdi Hassan Mohamed, on Sunday as the government classifies media as essential service in the fight against Covid-19.

MOGADISHU, Somalia, 12 April, 2020- Somali Journalists Syndicate (SJS) condemns the decision by Somali Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports and enforced by Somali Football Federation (SFF) to bar Goobjoog Media Group from accessing stadiums in Mogadishu for sports news coverage on 9 April 2020.

According to the documents of the ban seen by SJS, the Minister did not cite reasons for the ban. In his press conference on 9 April, SFF president Abdiqani Said Arab said they were bound to adhere the orders from the Minister of Sports and Youth, Khadijo Mohamed Diriye.

According to Goobjoog Media director, Hassan Mohamed Mohamud, SFF informed the management of Goobjoog Media that their journalists were barred from accessing all sports stadiums under the Ministry of Sports and Youth for coverage to censor Goobjoog Media. The decision has triggered the private media group to fear for the safety of their journalists going for assignments.

“The Minister’s directive has ordered officials- including security- to enforce the ban on Goobjoog Media. Consequently, we are now unable to send our journalists for assignments out of fear for their safety. We are also concerned that this order might be affecting other government departments,”Goobjoog Media director, Hassan Mohamed Mohamud told SJS.

Somali Journalists Syndicate (SJS) condemns the decision aimed to curb the media freedoms and intimidate the journalists and media organizations while denying their constitutional right to access to information.

“We are extremely concerned by the Ministry of Sports and Youth’s orders targeting Goobjoog Media, which represents gross violations against the operation of the independent press and further endangers the safety of the journalists,” Abdalle Ahmed Mumin, Secretary General of the Somali Journalists Syndicate (SJS) said, “We call for the Ministry of Sports and Youth to revoke its decision and allow Goobjoog Media and its journalists to report sports activities without obstruction.”

On 29 March, four Goobjoog Media journalists on assignment and their driver were briefly detained by officers from the National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) in Mogadishu and later released without charges.

MUQDISHO, Soomaaliya, 12 Abriil 2020- Ururka Suxufiyiinta Soomaaliyeed (SJS) ayaa cambaareeyay go’aanka ay Wasaaradda Ciyaaraha iyo Dhallinyarada uga mamnuucday Warbaahinta Goobjoog tebinta ciyaaraha, ayna dhaqangeliyeen Xiriirka Kubbadda Cagta ee Soomaaliyeed 9 Abriil 2020. Ammarka ayaa ka mamnuucaya warbaahinta Goobjoog iyo shaqaalaheeda tegista garoomada lagu ciyaaro.

Wareegtada ka soo baxday wasaaradda Cayaaraha iyo Dhalinyarada, oo nuqul ka mid ahna ay heshay SJS ayaan lagu caddeynin sababta mamnuucista lagu soo rogay Warbaahinta Goobjoog. Shir jaraa’id oo uu qabtay Guddoomiyaha Xiriirka Kubbadda Cagta Soomaaliyeed Cabdiqani Siciid Carab, 9-kii bishan ayaa ku sheegay in Xiriirku uu u hoggaasanamayo ammarka Wasaaradda oo ay soo saartay Wasiirka Wasaaradda Ciyaaraha iyo Dhallinyarada Khadiijo Maxamed Diiriye.

Agaasimaha Warbaahinta Goobjoog, Xasan Maxamed Maxamuud ayaa SJS u sheegay in Xiriirka Kubbadda Cagta uu ku wargeliyay in warbaahinta Goobjoog iyo warfidiyeenadeedaba aan loo oggolaan doonin in ay soo galaan garoomada kubbadda, uuna ku tilmaamay ammarkaas mid lagu wiiqayo siyaasadooda tifaftireed. Go’aankan ayaa Warbaahinta Goobjoog geliyay welwel iyo cabsi ay u baqayaan amniga warfidiyeenadooda.

“Amarka Wasiirka wuxuu soo sidoo kale faray saraakiisha hay’adaha kale ee Dowladda iyo laamaha amniga inay dhaqan-geliyaan, taasina waxay keentay in aan awoodi weyno in aan shaqaaleheena u dirno goobahaasi sababo amnigooda la xiriira darteed. Waxaan kaloo ka cabsi qabnaa in amarkan uu saameeyo qeybaha kale ee hay’adaha dowladda,” Xasan Maxamed Maxamuud, Agaasimaha Warbaahinta Goobjoog ayaa sidaa u sheegay SJS.

Ururka Suxufiyiinta Soomaaliyeed ee SJS waxa uu cambaareynaya go’aanka Wasiirka Ciyaaraha iyo Dhallinyarada oo ah fal lagu doonayo in lagu wiiqo xorriyadda saxaafadda, laguna cabsi gelinaayo warbaahinta madaxa-bannaan, iyadoo lagu horjoogsanayo xaqa helista xogta oo ah mid dastuuri ah.

“Aad ayaan uga wel-welsanahay ammarka Wasaaradda Ciyaaraha iyo Dhallinyarada ee lagu bartilmaameedsanayo Warbaahinta Goobjoog, kaasoo xadgudub weyn ku ah shaqada warbaahinta madaxa-bannaan, khatarna gelinaya amniga warfidiyeenada,” Cabdalle Axmed Mumin, Xoghayaha Guud ee Ururka Suxufiyiinta Soomaaliyeed (SJS) ayaa yiri isagoo ugu baaqay Wasaaradda Ciyaaraha iyo Dhalinyarada in ay la noqoto mamnuucistan, una oggolaato Warbaahinta Goobjoog tebinta ciyaaraha si is-hor-taag la’aan ah.

29-kii Maarso ayay ahayd markii afar warfidiyeen oo u shaqeynayay Warbaahinta Goobjoog iyo darawalkooda, kuna jiray hawl saxaafadeed ay si kooban u xireen ciidamo ka tirsan Hay’adda Sirdoonka Qaranka (NISA), iyagoo muddo kooban kadibna siidaayey iyagoon wax dembi ah lagu soo oogin.

MUQDISHO, Soomaaliya, 03 Abriil, 2020- Ururka Suxufiyiinta Soomaaliyeed (SJS) wuxuu cambaareynayaa handadaadda iyo cagajugleynta faafreebka ku saleysan ee warfidiyeenno kala duwan dhowaan loogu geystay magaalooyinka Muqdisho iyo Hargeysa.

30-kii bishii Maarso, shir jaraa’id oo uu qabtay Madaxweyne ku Xigeenka Somaliland Cabdiraxmaan Cabdullaahi Seylici ayuu warfidiyeenka ugu goodiyay in wariyihii soo tebiya caabuqa Coronavirus iyadoo aaney dowladdu xaqiijin uu noqonayo “dambiile qaran”

19-kii bishii Maarso sarakiil ka tirsan booliska degmada Boondheere ee magaalada Muqdisho ayaa xarig iyo handadaad isugu daray wariye Cabdullaahi Faarax Nuur (Yariisow), dharbaaxayna sawirqaadihiisii Cabdiraxmaan Cumar. Labada saxafi ayaa wareysiyo ku saabsan yaraanshiyaha agabka gacmaha iyo wejiga lagu xirto ee looga gaashaanto caabuqa Coronavirus ku duubayey agagaarka Daljirka Dahsoon. Wariye Yariisow ayaa u sheegay SJS in saraakiisha booliska markii ay qabteen geeyeen meel u dhow saldhigga booliska Boondheere, markii uu si ku celcelis ah u weydiiyay sababta loo xiray-na waxay saraakiisha tuseen bastooladahooda, iyagoo kaddibna u sheegay inay meel aan la ogoleyn ay filim ka duubayeen.

Labada warfidiyeen ayaa markii dambe la sii daayay iyagoon wax dembi ah lagu oogin.

27-dii Maarso, wariye Maxamed Dhaysane oo ka howlgala Wakaaladda Wararka Turkiga ee Anadolu oo fadhigiisu yahay Muqdisho, ayaa cadaadis xoog badan kala kulmay warbixin ku saabsanayd in Dowladda Soomaaliya ay 20 dhakhtar u direyso dalka Talyaaniga, oo ah waddan uu caabuqan dad badani ku laayey. Suxufigan ayaa sheegay in labo sarkaal oo ka tirsan dowladda Soomaaliya ay cadaadis ku saareen in warbixinta uu diray uu ka noqdo kana saaro mareegta wakaaladda Anadolu kadib markii ay Dowladdu cadaadis kala kulantay qaar ka mid ah waalidiinta dhakhaatiirta oo ka welwelsanaa badqabka caafimaadka dhakhaatiirtaas.

12 Maarso, sarkaal ka tirsan Wasaaradda Caafimaadka Soomaalliya ayaa ka dalbaday Universal TV inay tirtiraan wareysi telefishinku la yeeshay Wasiirka Caafimaadka Dowladda Federaalka Soomaaliya, Dr. Fawsiya Abiikar oo sheegtay inay karantiileen afar qof oo looga shakiyay inay qabaan cudurka COVID-19, balse warbixinta ayaa weli ku sii jirtay bogga Telefishinka.

“Waxaanu cambaareyneynaa tacadiyadan ugu dambeeyay ee loo geystay warfidiyeenno tebinayay cudurka halista ee Covid-19 iyo caabuqa Coronavirus,” Cabdalle Axmed Mumin, Xoghayaha Guud ee Ururka Suxufiyiinta Soomaaliyeed (SJS) ayaa intaa ku daray tebinta cudurka Coronavirus ay tahay arrin ahmiyad dadweyne leh, loona baahan yahay in shacabka lagu wargeliyo hadba wixii ku soo kordha si looga gaashaanto in cudurkani sii faafo, shacabku feejignaan u muujiyaan maadaama kumanaan qof ku dilay waddamo badan oo caalamka ku yaalla.

“Waxaanu ugu baaqeynaa maamullada Muqdisho iyo Hargeysa inay ogolaadaan is-dhaafsiga wararka warbaahinta, una ogolaadaan warfidiyeenada inay helaan xog ku filan oo ku saabsan tallaabooyinka lagula tacaalayo Coronavirus si loo badbaadiyo shacabka,” Xoghayaha guud ee SJS Mr. Mumin ayaa intaa ku daray.

MOGADISHU, Somalia, 03 April, 2020- Somali Journalists Syndicate (SJS) condemns the recent threats of intimidation and censorship against journalists reporting Covid-19 in Mogadishu and Hargeisa.

On 30 March, during a meeting with the local journalists in Hargeisa, Somaliland’s Vice President, Abdirahman Abdullahi Seylici described any journalist who reports any Coronavirus case before the government confirmation “as a national criminal” in a bid to censor independent media coverage following reports of the first case of the pandemic in Somaliland.

On 19 March, police officers in Mogadishu’s Bondhere district briefly detained and harassed Somali Cable TV reporter, Abdullahi Farah Nur (aka Yariisow) and slapped his cameraman Abdirahman Omar on the face, while both were collecting vox-pops on the shortage of masks and gloves in the local markets due to the panic of Covid-19 pandemic. According to Yariisow, the officers held them at the Daljirka area before taking to an open place near the Bondhere police station. “I repeatedly asked for an explanation but the officers who showed us their pistols said we were wrong to film Daljirka area, where we were conducting our interviews,” Journalist Yariisow told SJS.

The pair was released without any charge.

On 27 March, the Mogadishu-based Anadolu News Agency reporter, Mohamed Dhaysane came under pressure after reporting Somali Government’s announcement to send over 20 doctors to help fight coronavirus in Italy, the country where the virus has claimed the most lives. According to the journalist, two state officials asked him to retract the news report after the government met a backlash from the public including families who expressed concern over the health safety of the Somali doctors.

On 12 March, a Somali Ministry of Health official had asked Universal TV to remove an online article that followed an interview with the Minister of Health, Dr Fawsiya Abikar about putting four individuals in quarantine for suspected Coronavirus cases. Both the article and the interview remained online after the editors declined the official’s demand.

“We condemn the latest attacks against reporters covering COVD-19 in Mogadishu and Hargeisa,” Abdalle Ahmed Mumin, Secretary General of the Somali Journalists Syndicate (SJS) said, “Authorities should realize that this is a public interest matter and the journalists have the right to feed information they have on the pandemic to the public.”

“We call for the authorities in Mogadishu and Hargeisa to allow free flow of information and permit journalists and media stations adequate access to cover the news related to the pandemic to save lives,” Mr. Mumin added.

Qalabkoodii iyo telefoonadoodii oo markii hore laga qaatay ayaa dib loogu soo celiyay markii la siidaayey.

“Markii hore saraakiil ka tirsan kuwa Sirdoonka ayaa isku keen hareereeyay xilli aan wareysiyo qaadeynay, waxaa ay naga qaadeen taleefoonadii iyo kaamirooyinkii, kadibna waxay na geeyeen xabsiga Godka Jilacow oo aan ku jirnay muddo saacad ah, kadibna waa nala soo sii daayay,” Xamdi Mahad Diiriye ayaa sidaa SJS u sheegtay.

“Waxaanu ka walaacsanahay weerarada ay ciidamada dowladda la bartil-maameedsanayaan suxufiyiinta oo ujeedkoodu yahay in laga hor istaago xaqa helista xogta,” Cabdalle Axmed Mumin, Xoghayaha Guud ee SJS ayaa yiri isagoona cambaareeyay weerarada gabood-fallada ah ee ka dhanka ah suxufiyiinta ku jira shaqooyinkooda, uguna baaqey dowladda inay baaritaan deg deg ah ku sameyso gabood-faladaas, hor keentana sharciga kuwa lagu helo inay ku leeyihiin.

Isla 16 Maarso, Ciidanka ilaalada gaarka ee Wasiirka arrimaha Gudaha Puntland Maxamed Cabdiraxmaan Dhaban-cad ayaa ka qaatay weriye Sheekeeye aqoonsigiisii suxufinimo iyo agabkii uu ku shaqeynayay oo ay ku jirto Kaamiradiisii. Sida uu sheegay weriye Sheekeeye iyo tifafire ka tirsan Telefishinka CW, ilaalada wasiirka ayaa markii hore ku joojiyay qori gaarigii uu la socday suxufiga, kuna amray in uu soo dhiibo agabkiisa shaqada kaddibna la tagay.

Ururka Suxufiyiinta Soomaaliyeed ee SJS ayaa cambaareeyay xadgudubyada isdaba joogga ah ee lala beegsanayo qaar ka mid ah suxufiyiinta Puntland oo ay ugu dambeeyeen saddexdii saxafi, uguna baaqay maamulka Puntland inay xurmeeyaan xorriyadda saxaafadda oo lagu damaanad qaaday Dastuurka Puntland iyo kan Federaalka ah.

“Waxaanu cambaareyneynaa tacadiyadii ugu dambeeyay ee ka dhanka ahaa xorriyadda saxaafadda ee ka dhacay Puntland oo ay ugu dambeysay dhacdooyinkii loo geystay saddexdii suxufi ee ka howlgelayay warbaahin kala duwan,” Xoghayaha Guud ee Ururka Suxufiyiinta Soomaaliyeed (SJS), Cabdalle Axmed Mumin, isagoo ugu baaqay Dowlad Goboleedka Puntland inay joojiyaan tacadiyada iyo xadgudubyada ka dhanka suxufiyiinta oo si geesinimo leh ugu adeega shacabka si ay ugu wargeliyeen arrimaha muhiimka u ah bulshada.

“Maamulka Puntland waa inay u ogolaadaan suxufiyiinta inay u gutaan waajibaadkooda suxufinimo si xor oo aan cabsi lahayn, isla markaana siiyaan suxufiyiin habnnaan nabdoon oo ay ku shaqeyn karaan.” Xoghayaha Guud ee SJS Cabdalle Mumin ayaa intaa ku daray.
