Message sent from the E-mail of the so called Al-Shababs web page says that three famous Somali journalists Elmi Osman Farah Boderi, Ibrahim Mohammed Jekey and Fardowsa Mohammed Abdulle will be targeted wherever they are in the world.

Sawiro iyo wareysi Ahlusunna oo ku jeeda Luuq iyo Kismayo

This is how the e-mail sent to the three journalists and Waagacusub was written

“We are telling that the Al-Shababs will soon take the control of the whole country, and with the will of God your lives will be shortened by the Al-Shababs, and already your judgments has taken place”

The So called Al-Shababs have earlier judged similar judgment against innocent Somali journalists and have killed them

What has caused the Al-Shababs to send this sort of e-mail to the Somali journalists is because of an article they have written about how they were dealt with by the Al-Shababs while they were in Mogadishu, in fact the articles of the journalists against the Al-Shababs were really based on facts, had nothing to do with anything which violates the rules of journalism.

The article which journalist Elmi Osman Farah Boderi has written was called it (AL-SHABAB’S HAVE NO DETENTION CENTERS, BUT HAVE GRAVES) the journalist has really enlightened the dreadful actions of Al-Shabab against the Somali population as whole.

The journalist has previously written another article which he has named it as (THE CONCEPET OF THE POLICE AND THE STATE OF FEAR)

Ibrahim Jekey the director of Universal TV in southern Somalia has also written an article which he named it (THE MAERCILESS SIX DAYS) after he was kidnapped the Al-Shababs and held captive for six days

In his article, the director of Universal TV Ibrahim Jekey has also made clear that ransom was paid in his release, and dealt in a way which is out of the Islamic law.

The third journalist Fardowsa Mohammed Abdulle who is the only female among the three journalists has written an article which she has named it as (ARE THEY DEVILS OR YOUNGSTERS)

There are many Somali journalist who have fled from their line of work of Journalism in this year 2009, and the so called Al-Shababs have agent in every media station in Mogadishu who does censorship to all the reports aired by the station and use the name (THE MOVEMENTS OF THE MARTYRS OF AL-SHABAB).

However the case there is no single media which is free from the so called Al-Shababs, because every station has to air the wants of the Al-Shababs and drops down the an wants of Al-Shabab such as the killings of the significant figures in the Somali society and as well kidnappings and kilkli8nmg of the expatriates who came to help the needy

Somali people.
