Viewing cable 09NAIROBI2156, SOMALIA - PUNTLAND ADMINISTRATION RE-INSTATES VOA

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number.

SOMALIA SERVICE 
 
REF: NAIROBI 2116 
 
(SBU) Summary:  Following a series of telephone conversations 
with Puntland Administration officials (reftel), the Puntland 
Ministry of Information and Telecommunications on October 9 
permitted VOA Somalia Service to resume broadcasting.  (Note: 
 The Administration on October 1 had ordered Puntland FM 
radio stations not to transmit VOA Somalia Service 
broadcasts.)  The Puntland Administration nevertheless 
continued to insist that its complaints of biased coverage by 
VOA Somalia Service remained and asked that the Somalia 
Service's reporting be investigated.  Somalia Unit's 
Somali-speaking staff has verified that VOA Somalia Service 
resumed broadcasting as of October 9.
