Africa Media Development Foundation, AMDF, has celebrated all African journalists on the occasion of the International Day to End Impunity Against Journalists.

A joint statement issued by Sekyen Dadik and Joy Gadani, Executive Director and Senior Programme Officer of the Foundation, respectively, said, โ€œThis a remarkable day to highlight the critical role that journalists play in promoting transparency, accountability, and democracy in societies around the world.โ€

The statement added that it is also a time to recognize the dangers and challenges journalists face in carrying out their work, stressing that all around the world, they often find themselves at the frontline, uncovering and reporting on corruption, human rights abuses, wars and several issues happening locally and globally.

As the watchdog of society, the statement explained that journalists play a significant role in holding government, institutions and individuals accountable while also giving voice to the voiceless and amplifying the call for justice, inclusion and development.

โ€œToday, AMDF acknowledges the great service journalists offer at all levels; knowing that this invaluable service comes at a great cost. African journalists face various forms of harassment, intimidation, and violence, including threats, physical attacks, and even murder.

โ€œThe culture of impunity that allows perpetrators go unpunished only serves to perpetuate a cycle of violence and silencing of the press,โ€ the statement added.

The Foundation said governments, international organizations and civil societies must work together to create an environment where press freedom is prioritized regardless of the situation.

โ€œWe owe it to ourselves to strengthen legal frameworks that protect journalists, prosecute those who commit crimes against them, and ensure justice is served,โ€ the statement emphasized.
