<p>The British Government is working with the Government of Somalia and Somali media,
civil society organisations and international partners to support media freedom and
protect journalists in Somalia from attacks and intimidation. In November 2019 the
British Embassy in Mogadishu released a statement expressing solidarity with detained
journalists in Somalia, reinforcing that journalists must be able to investigate and
report without undue interference. This year in January the British Embassy in Mogadishu
hosted the first ever Somali Journalism Award ceremony to celebrate talented Somali
journalists. Somali Ministers attended this event as well as the Global Conference
on Media Freedom in London in July 2019.</p>
