SOCJA is concerned over journalists detention in Southern Somalia regions.

In a protesting statement issued by the Somalia based South and Central Journalists Association (SOCJA) condemns journalists detention in Southern Somalia regions.


Mohamed Abdki karim and Omar Salihi had been detained by the Alshabaab administration in that area as they work for regional radio stations.

Mohamed was the Mogadishu based Horn-Afrik radio corespondent from the town of Beledhawo and the Salihi is general director for Markabley radio in Bardere .

they were sent in to pirson but witnesses say journalists were accused of covering anti islamist stories that yet seems untrue .

latest arrest against Mohamed and Salihi is looking as another way paving new media oppressions to emerge.

Alshabaab raises anti freedom campaigns through out the areas they controlled by taking drastic measures against media and journalism professionals.

" we need freedom of expression and media access , as we see tensions against stories alternatively I asks  Alshabaab to find another way that can proceed journalism in to profissional ruther then threatening to , or offend journalists work, said Mohamed Ali Nuxurkey with the leadership of Somalia based South and Central Journalists Association (SOCJA).

Crisis highly became sophisticated against media in Somalia recently specially in areas where Alshabaab is strongholds , as years of media violations leave journalism's in Somalia yet to be remain in repressed as a result of their professional work.
