These are Somali news sites, shame!!!!

One of widely visited Somali news sites published today a breaking news titled "US supports a new Somali president to be elected in a national reconciliation conference in which all-inclusive government would be established” a press release from American embassy.

The body of the news which I roughly translated into English says ”US government said that the upcoming Somali president should be elected in the Djibouti conference. In a press release issued by the US embassy in Nairobi, has been declared the position of American government towards the peace process in Somalia. In the press release the US government welcomed the peace process in Djibouti and the formation of a national reconciliation government. In the press release US government also called upon the alliance for re-liberation of Somalia Djibouti wing to submit the list of the 275 new members of the parliament coming from the alliance, the deployment of the attending delegations to Djibouti conference would bee airlifted starting from tomorrow. The press release in English is here below:-"

Good morning-I’m looking to establish who among the Somali media outlets has correspondents in Djibouti. We’d like to be able to work with them when we’re in Djibouti, especially in the context of the TFG-ARS talks. If your outlet has anyone in Djibouti, I’d appreciate the person’s name, phone number and email address so I can be in touch with them.
Thanks and regards,
Mark

Firstly, no one can understand what the website under question really meant this news; they talk about the support of US to Djibouti conference. What is the conference? Is it the conference between the TFG and ARS that concluded in Djibouti? Or it’s a new conference? No one knows.

Secondly, if you read the statement mentioned above in which the news site says is the original statement from US embassy in Nairobi is a correspondence between some one called Mark Zimmer, from -as he claims- Somalia Affairs U.S. Embassy Nairobi, who asks a non identified person to help him find any one in Djibouti who can guide him during his stay in Djibouti, so where is the press release, or they think that Deception, and misleading news will crown them journalists.

So there is no press release from US embassy, I don’t know if American embassy’s press releases are written like this, good morning and hi. What a shame!!!

please read even if dont read Somali you will see and hopefully read the english words there, in wich they say is the press release from US Embassy in Nairobi

this is the link of the news in the Somali site
