“We are using other sounds such as gunfire, the noise of the vehicles and birds to link up our programmes and news.” —Abdulahi Yasin Jama, of Tusmo radio in Somalia, reacting to a ban on broadcasting music or jingles, issued 10 days ago by Islamic militants. The country has a majority Sunni muslim population, most of whom are none too happy with the ban, or the ongoing violence. At least 11 were killed in fighting this week.
