Somalia

While there is a good network coverage in Somalia, there are locations that may be left out or have an erratic coverage, especially in remote locations. During military operations, not only the Internet but the whole network might be shut down in some cases, thus affecting all types of phone communication.

News agencies

The country does not have an official news agency. There are a number of online platforms in Somalia and Somaliland that self-describe as Somali news agencies. These include the Somali National News Agency (SONNA), which is based in Mogadishu but has plenty of content on its website and operates an active Twitter account tweeting in Somali, English and Arabic. Then there is the Somaliland News Agency (SOLNA), which describes itself as “a global news agency delivering fast, in-depth coverage of the events shaping our world”.
