On the 6th of May 2024, Shabelle Media Network marked its 22nd anniversary, celebrating over two decades of its commitment to delivering accurate news and insightful analysis to the Somali community and the world at large.
Mogadishu, Somalia —
Shabelle Media Network was established in 2002 in Merca, Somalia, by a group of young intellectuals. Since its inception, the organization has grown to become a leading radio and television news outlet, with a mission to ensure that Somalis around the world remain abreast of developments within the Somali community and stay connected.
Throughout its 22 years, Shabelle Media Network has faced numerous challenges, including being targeted by Islamist militants in the past. Despite these hurdles, the organization has persevered, expanding its reach to serve the Somali community both within the Horn of Africa and abroad. Its broadcasts are now available to a global audience through live streams and a Facebook page with over one million followers.
Shabelle Media Network has been recognized for its outstanding contributions to journalism, including being awarded the Media of the Year prize by the Paris-based journalism organization, Reporters Without Borders , in 2010. The network has also been instrumental in spearheading governmental initiatives to reform the 2007 Somali media law, advocating for the rights and protection of journalists.
