Freedom on the March
Somalia's main broadcasters have been ordered to close, shortly after the interim president set up a new team to end the "chaos" in the capital.
Three top Somali radio stations and al-Jazeera TV are affected. They have been ordered to appear before the national security agency.
A policeman was killed and a convoy of government and Ethiopian troops attacked in overnight violence.
It’s kind of funny that the Islamists are the ones accused of being freedom-hating extremists with delusions of Taliban-style sharia law, but it’s the “freedom-loving”, US supported, and Ethiopian backed “rightful” government who has declared martial law and shut down independent and international broadcasters.
I guess freedom must mean something different than I thought it did.
