Mohamed Ibrahim Waiss was arrested while covering a protest staged by Mothers in Buldhuqo. The group was calling for the government to honour its promise to provide them with building plots in another neighbourhood.
Reporters Without Borders is appalled by government opponent and former journalist Daher Ahmed Farah’s incarceration on 2 July 2013 in Djibouti’s Gabode prison to begin serving a two-month jail sentence on a charge of “refusing to comply with a judicial order.”
