- The Tigray War Somalia Soldiers story is fake. There is no debate about this.
- Jason Mosley is the most widely acknowledged fact checker on the Tigray War. Here his @africaupdate traced the entire fake story to where it started.

- According to Jason,----all of this was unfortunately caused by a "Radio Kulmiye" error in editorial judgement for publishing unverified information whose unverification they disclaimed IN THE PUBLICATION itself.
- Essentially there is a systemic problem betrayed by this issue---namely the non-existent professionalism, credibility, and journalistic integrity, even editorial capacity and judgement that is lacking in Somali journalism.
- But there is an even bigger story here, THE REAL CONTROVERSY.
- Who took MISINFORMATION and made it DISINFORMATION???
- Even creating scenes of crying mothers and and orchestrating an organized contrived false controvery??

Richard Nixon WASN'T brought down by the crime. He was brought down by the cover up.
Misinformation can be caused by innocent human error.The problem here isn't even Radio Kulmiye may have innocently created misinformation.
The real problem here is who took what was misinformation and manufactured pictures, videos, and even created images of bereaving family----again, in a completely false story.
Disinformation is intentional. It is against public order. It is an attack on society. It is designed to cause instability.
And in many countries and societies around the world, it is when The Law has legitimate and vested interest to protect Freedom of Speech and Expression from misuse.
DISINFORMATION IS CRIMINAL
