Somalia: Somali Journalist Killed On Way to Work

press release

Reporters Without Borders is shocked to learn that Shabelle Media Network radio and TV presenter Abdihared Osman Adan was fatally shot three times by unidentified gunmen while on his way to work this morning in Mogadishu. He died at the city's Medina Hospital as doctors were about to operate.

"At a time when the world's eyes are turned to Africa, the international community needs to react to this death by pressing Somalia to take energetic measures in response to the constant violence against journalists," Reporters Without Borders said.
