Hoyraal 24 & Eryal television stations will be able to report freely from Somaliland after the government of Somaliland has on Monday announced that it has lifted the restrictions.
The two privately-owned television stations were suspended by the government barely two weeks ago after they were accused of threatening national security, instigation to violence, reporting news from armed militants and undermining the unity of the populace. The ban happened without a court order
The Somaliland information Minister, Mr. Mohamed Muse Derie, has announced the ban being lifted from the two television stations.
The minister and the owners of two television stations have signed an agreement which saw the lifting of the ban.
The information minister has made the remarks in a press conference held in Hargeisa.
Media associations both locally and internationally have urged the Somaliland administration to respect the freedom of speech and lift the suspension of the two media houses.
