African Union chides "negative" media on Somalia

have been talking about this for a long time
MOGADISHU, Jan 16 (Reuters) - The African Union (AU) rebuked media on Friday for "negative" coverage of Somalia, saying the Ethiopian military withdrawal was a major step towards peace for the Horn of Africa nation but had been portrayed otherwise.
"It is sad to note that positive developments in Somalia are always overlooked while emphasis is put on negative events," it said in a statement by its peacekeeping mission in Mogadishu.
The AU, which has 3,500 soldiers in Somalia, took particular issue with some local media reports -- citing witnesses -- that Islamist insurgents from the hardline al Shabaab group had taken over bases in Mogadishu left by the Ethiopians.more..http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/LG552157.htm
