JOURNALISTS GET HARD NEWS WITH DANGERS IN MOGADISHU

Mogadishu: - Somali journalists venture out in visiting Mogadishu’s war zones where Somali government soldiers with AU force launched an offensive against the Islamist factions.

The journalists have been visiting in some parties of Mogadishu like Hodan and H/wadag districts where too much fighting continues these days. “I am really telling that Somali journalists are still working hard for their nation, but sorry most of them don’t get thanks let alone protection,” said member of Somali civil society in Mogadishu, one of the world's most dangerous cities in the world.

Somalia continues to be a treacherous place for the journalists who risk their lives to bring the story of the ongoing conflict to the world.

Also Somalia is where journalists are in high risk, many journalists were killed in Somalia for the last year as they were doing their reporting from the fighting area and Somalia become the second country of killing journalists in the world while Iraq is the first, because every side wants to report the war as they want and journalists become target for the fighting sides.

Somali Journalists Association Network, a small organization defends and speaks for journalists and freedom of expression had striven joining a group of Somali journalists who covered the facts over the battle areas in Mogadishu which parties of it became like a frost place.

SOJANET aims at this coverage which was done on 14, May 2011 by Mohammed Odowa to provide the facts behind the danger which might happen to those journalists while filling the ongoing war stories said SOJANET chairman Omar Nur Gutale.
