Farah Hassan Sahal

Hassan,
45, a logistics manager and driver for Radio Simba, died after being shot three
times outside the station’s office in the volatile Bakara Market area of Mogadishu, local
journalists told CPJ.

The
shooting came during intense fighting between Al-Shabaab insurgents and
government-allied African Union troops, local reports said. Hassan’s colleagues
said the shots came from the direction of the AU forces. He is survived by a wife and five children, Radio Simba Director Abdullahi Ali Farah
told CPJ.
