Djibouti President Ismaïl Omar Guelleh’s scathing attack on media outlet “La Voix de Djibouti” points to the country’s continued suppression of independent and alternate voices.
In addition to illegally detaining him, Djiboutian authorities searched journalist Charmarke Saïd Darar’s home and hacked into his Facebook account.
Djibouti authorities sent 20 men to search for and arrest journalist Charmarke Saïd Darar during the recent crackdown on media.
