Journalists' response to the Chairmen of Somaliland Journalists.

Hargeisa, (SomalilandPress)-Abdullahi Adan Omar (Wayab) the director of Somaliland News Agency (SOLNA) and Mohammed Abdi Urad the Editor of Yool Press have held a press conference at Obama Hotel in Haregeisa the capital of Somaliland.

The two veteran journalists have warned the bad behaviour, which is lately whirling among the Somali Journalists.

The two Journalists have strongly responded to statement delivered by the Chairmen of Somaliland Journalists organizations, in which they were criticizing Waagacusub, saying that it has made routine in insulting a national company in the country.

"In fact what I am talking about is that there is great new conduct in Somaliland press, which we never used to have there is also darkness in the Somaliland press, we have to get rid of this unusual things in the press, or else the trust in the press will automatically die down, a journalist has the right to write, and in his writing the most significant thing is that he should be sure of what he is writing, the Journalist should not stand in creating enmity, among the other Journalists focusing on special interest, it often happens when a journalist writes there are people who rush to the person who the writer has wrote something from telling him negative image about the writer's writing seeking to gain something about that very person, the writer is not an angle and he can commit mistake in his writings, but in reaction the other person should also response in writing, to prove what has been written by that journalist is wrong to this level, the reality is that journalism is a field whereby nobody can join unless he/she has adequate knowledge of Journalism, I mean somebody who is not a journalist cannot just pickup a pen and draft down what comes down into his brain" said Abdullah Wayaab the director of Somaliland News Agency. Abdullahi Wayaab has warned to avoid any intruders who are creating instability among the Somaliland journalists, there are some groups who he said are hiding under the umbrella of Journalists and are not actually Journalists, these groups he said are opportunists who have dug the pockets of Politicians and now are digging the pockets of traders.

Likewise Mohamed Abdi Urud the Editor of Yool Press, has also at length talked about the new conduct in the Somaliland press

"The new conduct we have seen that if a journalist writes about somebody there are some people who hastily dash to that very person and tell him the story in a very inaccurate way, for instant on Thursday some Journalists held a press conference, and their press was mainly based on Dahir Alasow a Journalist who has written about Dallo Airlines, in fact Dallo Airlines is a national company, and has done great unforgettable things for Somaliland, and if incase a Website has written something ill about it, it would have been better to be disproved in form of writing through the Media not that you approach the person and tell him whatever you want to tell him, and gain a smart handshake" said Mohamed Abdi Urud the Editor of Yool Press

Mr. Urud has strongly condemned Mustfe Abdi Isse (Shiine) the Chairman of Somaliland Journalists SOLJA, and said that he is a man who has failed his duty on Mandeeq News Paper, and has well betrayed the government he has been working for.
