Somalia: Somali Journalist tortured at Bossaso town in Puntland


Mogadishu Thursday 25 February 2010 SMC
Ahmed Ibrahim Noor commonly known as (Ahmed Somali) was on Wednesday tortured by the sentries of the high court of the coastal town of Bossaso in the semiautonomous state of Puntland in eastern Somalia while he was on duty for his work of journalism.
“In fact I was right inside the court and I have received a hard blow on my cheek and when I turned round to what was really happening I saw Ahmed Dahran the commander of the court guards, hitting me hard again, and before I retaliate there were 7 other soldiers who have all started kicking and bunching me hard and I eventually lost strength and fallen to the ground”
said Ahmed Somali a reporter for radio simba an independent radio station which operates in the Somali capital Mogadishu.
There were several other local journalists who were inside the court waiting to listen the hearing of a criminal case which was not in fact specified, but was adjourned.
The journalist doesn’t know why he was bunched by the commander and his fellow collogues, and termed that the commander of the Bossaso high court of a very brutal human being, who does not respect the entire of the journalists.
So far the authority of Puntland has not talked about the thorough torture of the journalists.
The authority of Puntland has some times back detained a reporter for VOA Somali section, for no genuine grounds.
A journalist to serve in Somali is indeed a hard thing to do Somalia is one of the leading countries in the world where journalists are killed, tortured, threatened or detained.
It was merely the 21st of February when Ali Yuusf a reporter for Somaliweyn radio was arrested by Al-Shabab an armed Islamist faction in Somalia. Somaliweyn English Desk.

"If you can encourage more of your children, and more of your neighbors, and anyone around you to send people ... to this jihad, it would be a great asset for us," he says.Gadahn, who goes by the nom de guerre of Abu Azzam al-Amriki, has appeared in videos talking about the defeat of America in Iraq and other battlefields with jihadists and urging Americans to convert to Islam. He has been indicted on treason charges, and the FBI has put a $1 million reward on him, calling him "an integral part of al-Qaida's media and recruitment branch."
It is not known, however, if Gadahn has ever played a leadership role in al-Qaida.
Some members of the thriving Somali community in Minneapolis and St. Paul have reported being questioned by the FBI as it investigates whether some young men are being "radicalized" in Minnesota and recruited to fight with terror groups in their homeland.
"This is the first time an American has been shown in a leadership/senior role advising/teaching a group of jihadists," IntelCenter said in an e-mailed analysis. "This is a significant development and likely to be indicative of other developments within the group."
If you can encourage more of your children, and more of your neighbors, and anyone around you to send people ... to this jihad, it would be a great asset for us," he says. WHO SAID THAT? THE TERRORIST ! DO YOU TRUST THESE GUYS ? THEY ARE BUSINESS PEOPLE ! YOU KNOW WHAT THESE GUYS ARE HUMAN TRAFFICKERS. HEY !WHAT DO YOU KNOW DIRTY MONEY IS VERY HARD TO RESIST IF YOU DON’T HAVE MERCY AND IF YOU ARE NOT KIND .
