When you think about Somalia, war or famine probably come to mind. Brut wants to show you another side of the country. For journalists, Mogadishu might be one of the most difficult and dangerous places to work — armed radical groups are everywhere, and the risk of kidnapping is very real. When our reporter, Camille, went there, she traveled with an escort. And as a woman, she had to wear a headscarf to blend in.

Somalia has been at war for close to 30 years. Things have been even worse there since 2007, with the arrival of al-Shabab, a radical group linked to al-Qaeda. They have between 5,000 and 9,000 members throughout the country. Al-Shabab's goal is to impose Sharia — Islamic law — in the region and on top of that, the group wants to overthrow the government, which is already weak and extremely corrupt. Officially, al-Shabab was driven out of the capital in 2011. But in reality, they're still there, mixed in with the local population.

From the heart of Mogadishu, Brut brings you the daily lives of four Somali women, who took huge risks to tell their stories.
