Radio Galkayo, a privately-owned station in the northeastern somalian city of Galkayo, has started functioning again and its director, Hassan Mohamed Jama, has been released after three days in detention. Jama has nonetheless been ordered to report to a Galkayo court at 9 a.m. on Thursday, according to Reporters sans Frontières (RSF).
The police of the autonomous northeastern territory of Somaliland arrested Jama and forced the station to stop broadcasting on November 16 after it reported that Puntland’s president was involved in an allegedly clandestine deal to acquire arms from abroad.
