Reporters Without Borders SomaliaAl-Shabaab Armed group (JPEG) Initially an armed wing of the Islamic Courts, which were ousted from Mogadishu by government troops and the Ethiopian army in December 2006, this group of "young combatants" has gradually emerged as the most fearsome subversive machine operating in Somalia. Rejecting the "politicking" of the Islamist leaders exiled in Eritrea, it has broken away and organises murderous attacks on the transitional government and its allies. It also supervises a campaign of terror and targeted murders against leading members of Somali civil society who are, it says, guilty of serving the interests of the "Crusaders." Dozens of teachers, academics, doctors and at least three journalists have been killed by these "Young Mujahideen," who often use innocent-looking teenagers as hit-men. Predators There are instigators and powerful people behind press freedom violations whose responsibility is not always apparent. Whether presidents, ministers, chiefs of staff, religious leaders or the heads of armed groups, these predators of press freedom have the power to censor, imprison, kidnap, torture and, in the worst cases, murder journalists. To better expose them, Reporters Without Borders has produced these portraits.
