Shutting down Universal Tv and suspend all of its operations in every town and city?
Liqaaye, care to explain this one? What happened to 'freedom of media' ?

the old man must be on the whisky bottle again.

Another great move by out great Leader! Universal TV has been Anti-Somaliland for the last 8 months and it was about time, the Minister of Information took action about this... Universal tv was banned for couple of months, and if they dont change they with in those months they will be banned for ever..... Daahir Riyaale gave UNiversal tv over 200.000 Us dollars, and the Current Goverment refused to give them shid, and they have been anti somaliland and kulmiye since!!!!

Universal is total bullshyt, 80% of what comes on there are Dahabshiil adverts, every 40 seconds all u hear is "Soo dir lacagta haluguu duceeyee" or some little shop selling Gold or a supermarket selling Bread some where in London or Saudi arabia.

Liqaaye, this is not about money. From what i heard, the minister of information had his department try and meet with Universal. What it was about he has not stated, i believe it's regarding the SSC militia and it's negative portrayal of Somaliland by giving platforms to clan leaders and bash the current government. The same clanleaders and clans that supported Riyaale before (read Siciid, bohol, ruralman and kaliils comments in this section). Universal has failed to answer to the department and he has thus suspended their current activities temporarily.

Believe it or not I’ve NEVER seen this Universal TV channel. Why is it so popular? Can you see it in America?

It's based in London and I think it's only available to UK somalis and possibly Europe aswell

^^ IN Europe alone? you kidding...

Universal TV is the biggest somamli channel, you can watch it in all over Africa, Asia, and all Europe, i think its availble in some parts of America now, but not sure, you can watch it onnline thou,...

Cali Gaab.. it has nothing to do with the minor SSC movement in Buuhoodle, the Whole of Universal TV seems to be against Somaliland at the moment, you can read the statement from the Minister him self here....
