SOMALI PRESIDENT REPORTEDLY ORDERS GAALKACYO-BASED RADIO CLOSED | 

Text of report by Somali web site Somaaljecel on 10 July 

Reports reaching us from Gaalkacyo say interim Somali President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmad ordered today the immediate closure of a radio station based in the city. 

The director of Voice of Peace, Burhan Ahmad Abdullahi, was quoted as saying that Abdullahi Yusuf issued the order alleging that the radio station was working with and giving prominent coverage to activities of the Mogadishu-based [dissident] legislators and cabinet members. This is not the first time that a radio station based in Puntland has been shut down. There are journalists in detention in the regional state, jailed for exercising the freedom of speech. They had been pressured to be the mouthpiece of the authorities there. 

The circumstances under which Voice of Peace radio station was shut down are different from other actions against the media in Puntland, in that the radio station was accused of connection with the dissident MPs and ministers of the interim government.

中国一向很难收听到这个国家的广播，主要原因是它是针对国内，发射瓦数也不大。不过有的还是可以收到的，要看你的虮子怎么样咯！！~
