Shukri Nur Ali 18 year old female journalist has been suffering from mental illness since earlier last year, when a phone call threat from unknown group, forced to give up her work as radio journalist.
Shukri was a presenter for a private broadcast; Somaliweyn based in Mogadishu before suffering from mental disorder. She started her job as a reporter and then turned into a presenter for Children’s entertainment program.
“She has received an anonymous phone call death threats. She was compelled to give up her profession as a journalist. Although we told the case of my daughter to many people no one answered but now we hope we are hoping that international attention and action can help my little one to get help and treatment” Nur Ali Aynte the father of Shukri’s father told SOFCA.
The father added that his daughter has been showing sings of nightmare and insomnia before completely falling into this mental disorder.
“She does not sleep enough at night and always keens with fearful nightmares. She some times shouts with words like “Do not kill me,” “stop shooting and others,” said her father
The Press Freedom Group SOFCA has appealed from the all well-wishers to assist this young journalist to get over from her illness.
“We bless her and ask God to give her personal strength and conscience and call for those causing similar problems to the journalists to refrain from this hostile inhuman threats,” said the deputy chairman of the group Abdul-wahid Sheek
