This week on #TubtaNabadda, we mark World Press Freedom Day, celebrated globally on 3 May.
We interview Mohamed Ibrahim Moalimuu, Secretary General of the Federation of Somali Journalists (FESOJ), about press freedom in Somalia and what should be done to ensure that journalists operate in a safe environment, free from fear and intimidation.
We also interview Farhia Mohamed Kheyre, Chairperson of the Somali Women Journalist Organization (SJWO), about the challenges faced by female journalists in their work, and how the organization helps to empower them. She also talks about the important role of free press in a democratic society, and the need to create a safe environment for the Somali press.
