The Media Monitoring Committee during the Elections commended the media for their work and for the good ethical way they reported news about the Elections.
They gave the nation’s general media fraternity a clean bill of health as far as their reporting conducts during the electioneering processes were concerned.
The committee said that the Somaliland media acted with maturity during the elections and showed great care in how they reported the election news.
On the other hand, they urged the Somaliland media to continue their patriotic efforts and avoid unverified news that could cause conflict. They also pointed out that the public should be vigilant against anyone who misrepresents anything.
They stated that the media should continue its impartial work unhindered and direct more efforts to nation building and cohesiveness.
In conclusion, they advised both the public and private media in Somaliland not to interfere in family matters and not to report unverified news that divides the community, especially exaggerations that spew discords.
