Elders, youth, Diaspora, Intellectual and chiefs came together in Hargeisa today to jointly condemn and demand the immediate release of the proprietor of Haatuf and Somaliland times Mr. Yusuf Abdi Gabobe and his Chief Editor Mr. Ahmed Egge a day after a court in Hargeisa remanded the Haatuf duo for seven days.
In a Statement read during the Press conference held at hotel Haraf today by the Gadiid community stated as follows:
“We the Elders, youth, Diaspora, Intellectual and tribal chiefs of the Gadiid Community while respecting and safeguarding the good relations between our community and other communities in Somaliland deplore the nature in which the prosecution used in while trying the Haatuf duo.
The constitution of Somaliland states clearly that Press Law shall be applied in this case contrary to the application of the outdated and general law on this case is contrary to article 130(5) of the Constitution. The article clearly states that the pre-constitution laws are only applicable if they do not conflict individual rights and fundamental freedoms enshrined in the constitution.
The article further stipulates that after promulgation of new laws, the previous laws shall not remain in force. The Gadiid community therefore is concerned by the prosecution intentions to continue to sideline the of the Press Law and the criminalization of the press.

The rest of Somalilanders don’t think so. This guy (Yusuf Abdi Gaboobe) should be locked up for good or send to Mandheera prison like Daahir Riyaale sent him in 2007 for spreading false lies for his own greedy mouth.
Speak for yourself only please, and not for us. All the honorable Somalilanders standby their Mujahideen and not by faqash ka hadh. We’ll standby and die for every decent Somalilander who is subjected to draconian laws and faqashism.
