His brutal killing is the latest of a spate of murders in the Somali capital. And, little is known regarding the motive behind the crime. But local media report he had received anonymous calls demanding he highlights Al-Shabab activities on his programme.
The horn of African country is ranked worst for the safety of journalists. CPJ’s impunity index shows 25 have been killed over the last decade.
