24 August 2010
The National Union Somali Journalists (NUSOJ) expresses sadness and deep grief on the death of prominent journalist, Barkhad Awale Adan, who was killed in the afternoon of Tuesday, 24 August 2010 in clashes between the Transitional Federation Government and the Islamists group Al-Shabaab in Mogadishu.
Adan, 60, who is the Director of Hurma Radio and who was on duty at the radio station, was hit by a bullet during an exchange of fire between the warring sides. He was rushed to Madina hospital where he was confirmed dead upon arrival.
“The violence in Mogadishu has made it extremely dangerous for media professionals to carry out their work without falling victims to the ever flying bullets and widespread criminality. We have lost, yet again, another veteran journalist courtesy of the raging hostilities,” said Omar Faruk Osman, NUSOJ Secretary General.
Adan was born in Borame of Awdal region in northern Somalia. He has been working in the media for that last 30 years. In the past four years he was the Director of Hurma Radio, which is owned and run by a civil society organisation.
NUSOJ sends heartfelt condolences to the family, relatives, colleagues and friends of the late Barkhad Awale Adan. “We call on warring sides to cease hostilities in Mogadishu to save the lives of innocent civilians,” Omar Faruk added.

UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova deplored the death of Somali journalist Barkhad Awale Adan, who was killed on 24 August in Mogadishu in a clash between Transitional Federation Government troops and the insurgent group Al-Shabaab. “I deplore the death of Barkhad Awale Adan,” said Ms Bokova. “The Somali press is paying an exorbitant price for the instability prevailing in the country. Combatants must respect journalists’ immunity. Without it, without security, no freedom of expression worthy of the name can exist, even though it is a fundamental human right.” Read more |

Lessons from Kenya: The Referendum of 4 August 2010 |

Zimbabwe Election Support Network (ZESN) sent a delegation to Kenya to draw lessons on the constitutional review process and the referendum. Kenya has come a long way on its journey in making a new constitution and finally on the 4th of August 2010, the Kenyans voted for a new constitution. Kenya shares a number of similarities with Zimbabwe, namely that both were British colonies in the past, both have had a Lancaster House Constitutions, and more importantly that both currently have power sharing governments that emanated from the contested elections results. They also experienced post-election violence after their polls. Similar to Zimbabwe as part of the power sharing settlement they had to make a new constitution before elections which are scheduled in 2012 after all the laws had been made. Read more |
