#Somalia’s failure to take action when journalists are attacked or threatened has allowed impunity to thrive. Authorities must send a clear message that crimes against the press will no longer be tolerated.” @CPJAfrica’s @angelaquintal cpj.org/2020/02/somali…
For the fifth straight year in 2019, Somalia topped CPJ’s Global #ImpunityIndex, which highlights countries where journalists are slain and the killers go free. cpj.org/reports/2019/1…
