SOMALIA SHUTS TWO RADIO STATIONS
[SOURCE: Washington Post, AUTHOR: Stephanie McCrummen]
The Somali government shut down two private radio stations in Mogadishu on Tuesday, the latest episode in a widespread crackdown on Somali journalists working in one of the most hostile environments in the world. The closures came a day after the government closed one of the Somali capital's most prominent radio stations, Shabelle, for the eighth time this year.
