The secretary general of the National Union of Somali Journalists (NUSOJ), Omar Faruk Osman, held talks Tuesday with a senior U.S. diplomat in Mogadishu focused on press freedom and democratic governance.

Osman met with Justin E. Davis, the U.S. Embassy’s chargé d’affaires in Mogadishu, in what both sides described as a constructive and wide-ranging discussion.

The talks centered on the protection of media freedom in Somalia, where journalists continue to face security risks and challenging working conditions.
