Somalia: Somaliland arrests Al-Jazeera channel correspondent MOGADISHU (Sunatimes), June 30, 2010 - The authorities of the self declared breakaway republic Somaliland in northwest Somalia arrested an international reporter for Al-Jazeera English Channel Mohamed Addow on Monday, reports said on Wednesday. Police wearing in civilian dress from Somaliland intelligence Service raided the hotel where Addow stayed and drove him into the jail without any question. I was only told that I was arrested for a news coverage I made about Lasanod but I dont know what was wrong with story, and I am in this jail for two days. Addow told a local reporter for Waagacusub Media who secretly visited him in the prison. The Al-Jazeer international correspondent has been in Somaliland for the coverage of the elections taking place over there. He is the second journalist put into custody in Hargeysa for the last 48 hours. Some reports say that Ethiopian government involves the arrest of Mohamed Addow using Somaliland as a tool. The arrest of Al-Jazeera's Mohamed Addow by the Somaliland government could draw local and international condemnations. The chairman of Associated Somali Journalists (ASOJ) Dahir Abdulle Alasow has strongly condemned the arrest of the Al-jazeera reporter by the Somaliland administration as acceptable and in violation against the free press. Mr. Alasow also expressed his concern over the detention of Mohamed Rashid Omar, a local reporter for Sahafi newspaper. Omar was detained by the Somaliland police on Tuesday over a news article about an introductory result on the election votes. The decision in which Mohamed Addow and Mohamed Rashid were arrested is a total oppression against the freedom of media and the democratic approach. Said Alasow. He said Somaliland should not try to intimidate the independent media and called on them to immediately release the Al-Jazeera correspondent. Source. Sunatimes

Oodweyne...Ina habar nin aabahiis layaqaan wax ka sheegey..cajiib

Your criticisms or is it mockery lacks purpose and are devoid any substance!

Xaaji...Anything is possible after all Riyaale was part of Barre's gestapo but I will be surprised if they cheat the people out of this opportunity.

Xiin..Other nations and organizations see no geopolitical advantage (now) in recognizing Somaliland as long as Somalia's problems are contained within its borders.Nothing is set on stone and political realities can change.Legitimate opposition is needed to oppose secession.This has twofold effect. It shows the international community not everyone in the Former British Protectorate is on board and in practical terms, it will silence Oodweyne and his little gang.Rhetoric without any action is not option.

Xiin...I think deflating Oodweyne's is futile exercise in that it carries no weight and it plays into his hands. It also puts you in the defense. What is needed is well-thought counter message that poke holes in the secessionist project and the way they present to the wider world.

Lool@house arrest...Think positive!

Xiin...You need change in strategy and tactics.The current political situation is unsustainable. Plus the PRwar is lost.

Haatu...I didn't say anything impure-hopefully good trip? P.S. I don't you hate when Sheikh tells you that Nabiga (PBUH) baa saas samey jirey. It's blackmail I tell you.

Haatu-War Bisinka haa iloowin regardless of what you are doing, P.S. Wadaad khudbeenaya waxaa uu yiri inaad bisinka qabsataa xitaa hadii adiga iyo xaaskaaga aad lagdameysiin Quraanka daara uu yiri. Sheekha raali ahow baa iri

Allpuntland needs to get rid of that article because it will taint their credibility. classic You never cease to amaze me.

^All is great-wishing the same Habo!

^Bisinka qabso horta?

Ibti-Who objected to Somalilanders waving their flag on may 18th or celebrating 26th?

^I don't need luck. I'm "luck".

Habo....Showers are great !!

If people can't get along. Why not celebrate the event separately? Each party can throw its own celebration without any interruption from other part-no foul no harm, and you could wave whatever you wanna wave.

Morning, I like shower.Being in bath isn't appealing.Wasaq aad iska nadiifineysid baa ku dhax dabaalaney. Poor you Ibti. Yanks will astonished at such thing.

Is true Ingiriiska biyo baaldi lagu soo dhuro ka bacdi la qubeesto?

Violent and Dramatic...I think I just solved what's wrong with Somalis and Somalia

Brazil oo ku tumatey Chile Jowhar England Oo La Reebay iyo Argentina Oo Mexico Marsiisay guuldaro adag Horseed Brazil oo 3-0 ku dhirbaaxdey xulka Chile. Hadh Xulka Ghana oo Garaacay Qaranka Maraykanka Borama

Something is fishy.

This is all fishy!
