Description

Some teenage refugees from Somalia's long civil war have formed a rap group in a suburb of Nairobi, Kenya and their songs are shaking things up. Waayah Cusub's songs convey a message of peace and reconciliation, but that's generated death threats for the group. Somali warlords have a vested interest in continuing the fighting and radical Islamists don't like songs that deal with taboo subjects.

Richard Lough reports.
