MOGADISHU, Somalia – The Media Council of Somalia held an important introductory meeting today with Sara Merchant, the Second Secretary of Political Affairs at the British Embassy in Mogadishu. The session, which marked the beginning of an anticipated close partnership, was led by the Council’s interim chairman, Mohamed Shil.

During the meeting, members provided a comprehensive briefing to the embassy on the activities and achievements of the Media Council of Somalia. Since its inception earlier this year, following its approval by the Cabinet of Ministers, the council has become a formidable advocate for press freedom in the region. It has also been instrumental in training Somali journalists, fostering a culture of media professionalism and ethical reporting.

In response, Second Secretary Sara Merchant expressed her gratitude for the introduction and emphasized the embassy’s commitment to fostering strong collaboration with the council. Her promise of close coordination was met with optimism and appreciation from the council members.

Established to champion the cause of free and independent media, the Media Council of Somalia has already made significant strides. It continues to uphold journalistic standards while providing essential support to media professionals across the country. Looking ahead, the council has scheduled its first-ever election to elect a permanent chairman, a significant milestone that shows its commitment to democratic principles and governance.

The Media Council of Somalia remains a pivotal institution in the ongoing effort to ensure press freedom and professionalism in journalism, working diligently to safeguard the rights of media practitioners and promote a free and vibrant press in Somalia.
