Al-Shabab Ban Popular Website Logging

Recommended Posts

Somalia’s terrorist group Al-Shabab has banned people in parts of southern

Somalia from logging on the widely read website of *www.waagacusub.com* which is part of Waagacusub Media org.

 

The spokesman for Al-Shabab administration in Somalia’s Jubba regions Hassan Yakub told all the people in Kismayo city, the provincial capital of Lower Jubba that any one seen visiting this website will face punishment.

 

“we are telling all the managers of the Internet companies and the public that viewing of *Waagacusub.com is banned from southern Somalia as it is among the enemy media that accustomed publishing

the news stories against our Jihad,” said Yakub who was convoying his message with load speakers through the town.

 

His warning came as 50 readers of the Waagacusub site were arrested in Jowhar, 90km north of the capital as Baidoa, 250km south of the capital.

 

Some of the managers of the Internet cafes in areas controlled by Al-Shabab and Hizbul Islam in southern Somalia say their centers were regularly inspected by the militants forbidding the visit of Waagacusub.com.

 

Earlier, Waagacusub site was blocked by Internet providing Company named as Qaran Internet based in the Somali populated district of Eastlight in Nairobi, Kenya.

 

Editor Dahir Alasow said Qaran Internet is run by Noradin Yusuf Dini who is member of Al-Shabab terror group that is fighting against the free media in Somalia.

 

Shabab’s hunt down on the media people caused that 15 of the prominent journalists mainly directors, editors and program producers stop working for their safety.

 

The order by Al-Shabab and Hizbul Islam on banning the logging of Waagacusub Media site came days after the editor of Waagacusub reacted to Al-Shabab’s mayor of Mogadishu describing him as a big liar who has nothing with Islam.

 

On 9 November 2007, Al-Shabab published on its website of Almujaahid..com a statement of death threats against Waagacusub Media org editor Dahir Abdulle Allasow.

 

Waagacusub.com made a highlight on the human violations by Al-Shabab in Somalia putting the blame on being behind the killings of the journalists, the local and foreign relief workers and human rights activities, starting from the murdering of Elman Ali Ahmed who was a peace campaigner and the murder of Varene Karer, who was aid worker for the New Way Swisserland and the killing of Dr Abdulkadir Yahye, the head of Center for Research and Dialogue (CRD).

 

“the director of Shabelle Radio was killed by the allied terror groups led by Hassan Dahir and Ahmed Godane and their plan is that any single one that can tell something to two person should be killed. The best picture I can give is that their mission is (Don’t live),” said Alasow.

 

Al-Shabab does not like Waagacusub.com as this website often displays news reports that give unpleasant to the militants like very secretive audio clips and confidential documents and their violations against the civilians.

 

To their surprise was when the Al-Shabab saw the images of their senior militants’ bodies on the Waagacusub.com those killed in the war raged in Guriel in Galgadud region in central Somalia between their group and fighters of Ahlu-Sunna Waljama.

 

Somalia became the world’s most dangerous country for the journalists. More than dozen media people were killed others injured while hundreds more fled the country and now living as exile in abroad as two foreign journalists of Canada and Australia are still being held as hostage in Mogadishu since August 2008.
