At radio Shebelle, the biggest station in Somalia, most of the journalists are young and don't have much experience, but they are devoted and passionate, despite being targets of the terrorist group al-Shabab. Emilie Iob and Patricia Huon interviewed some of these journalists on a trip to Mogadishu. Later, VOA's Ndimyake Mwakalyelye talks to Harun Maruf, VOA's Somalia service journalist.
