“we have to fight against the media in Mogadishu as we did to the warlords before, the society came to realize what sort of journalists in the capital who became obstacle to the peace. I think the minister on information in the government will prevent it,” said Ibbi angrily.

The threat by the government official came as the journalists have been suffering for the in numerous violations including killing, wounding, torturing and intimidation while dozens of them fled the country for their safety.

The offensive remarks shocked many journalists in the country who were expecting the new government to come with a policy to respect the freedom of media in Somalia.
