Kenyan TVs Stepped into the Void Neglected by Somaliland’s TV Outlets

Switch TV News is available across Kenya as a free to air channel.

Since from the moment Somaliland and Kenya forged a close relationship, Kenyan broadcast media have shown great interest in Somaliland as they have visited extensively different parts of the nation to shoot programs presenting the realities in Somaliland Republic

The TV crew team from Switch TV Kenya, which has more than one million views on its YouTube channel, has recently been touring the major cities in Somaliland.

Kibisu Mulanda and his crew presented the last episode of “Inside Somaliland” as they finalize their Somaliland mission.

Programs such as this provide a push and a fuel for the Somaliland case to become more prominent in the Horn of Africa and beyond in Africa.

A role neglected by the privately owned broadcast outlets in Somaliland as well as the nation’s National Television – as to selling out the aspirations of Somaliland citizens – is being undertaken by the Kenyan TV stations.

And those based in Somalia – from their studios in Somaliland – often spread false accounts of stories about the country, let alone support Somaliland’s independence.
