In news from Africa, the U.S.-backed Somali government has shut down two more radio stations in the capital Mogadishu. On Monday, authorities closed Shabelle Radio and briefly detained two of its senior staff. Earlier today, heavily armed troops raided Radio Banadir. Reporters Without Borders said the Somali authorities were showing contempt toward the free media. Eight local reporters have been killed in the line of duty in Somalia this year.
