TikTokers arrested for insulting Somalia's president in a dance video

TikTokers Arrested for Criticizing Somali President in Dance Video A group of young Somali TikTokers have been arrested for creating a dance video that criticized the country's president, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. The video shows the men dancing to a remixed version of a campaign song, with altered lyrics that insulted the president. The Somali government has condemned the video, claiming it was a deliberate attempt to undermine the president's authority and disrupt public order. The TikTokers, whose identities have not been publicly disclosed, were arrested and are currently facing charges for their actions. The incident highlights the ongoing tensions and restrictions on free speech in Somalia, where the government has been known to crack down on dissent and criticism. It also reflects the growing influence of social media platforms, such as TikTok, in shaping political discourse and public opinion in the country.
