We’re sorry to note that BBN Buraopost Newsletter experienced an unexpected outage from 5 to 22 December following false claims submitted to Google, the platform hosting our blog. These claims accused our reporting of violating news ethics and online safety standards, despite the fact that our work is based on factual journalism and careful, responsible reporting. We sincerely apologize to our readers that we did not announce this interruption on the day it happened and regret any confusion or concern this may have caused.
During this period, our team immediately responded to the allegations, clarifying that the reported information was false and driven by misinformation related to activities in Somalia. We also made clear that Somaliland operates as a sovereign region with its own governance and institutions. This situation affected our content availability, our future media plans, and our ability to run Adsense advertising, but it also demonstrated our honesty and integrity. Even in the face of pressure or threats, we continue to report the truth about Somaliland and regional affairs without compromise.
We want our readers to understand clearly that this outage was not the result of any wrongdoing by BBN Buraopost Newsletter. Our editorial team follows recognized journalistic ethics, prioritizes accuracy, and respects online safety standards. This incident has only strengthened our commitment to transparency and responsible reporting. We thank our audience for their patience and continued trust, and we reaffirm our promise to deliver high-quality, independent news going forward.
