The African Editors Forum (TAEF) has urged the African Union Commission (AUC) to urge Djibouti authorities to provide transparency regarding the location of journalist Micah Reddy and his local fixer, Kooki Mahmoud. In a statement released on September 20, 2026, TAEF expressed grave concern over the missing journalist and his fixer.
Reddy, who serves as the Africa coordinator for the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), and Mahmoud went missing in Djibouti City on September 19, 2026, around 1pm local time. They have not been in contact since then, and Reddy was not covering any Djibouti-related matters. TAEF is calling on Djibouti authorities to clarify the whereabouts of Reddy and Mahmoud, investigate their disappearance promptly and transparently, and keep their families and colleagues informed.
Both British and South African citizens, Reddy and Mahmoud have been informed about their absence, but Djibouti authorities have not responded to media inquiries. TAEF is deeply worried about the safety of the journalist and his fixer and advocates for freedom of travel for journalists worldwide.
