Most of us probably don't associate local government with racing
pulses and grave danger. But few local government jobs are like
the Mayor of Mogadishu's. Hardtalk speaks to Mohamoud Nur who had
that post for more than three years, trying to improve life in
one of the most violent, most corrupt, most rundown capital
cities in the world. So what persuaded him to leave home life in
London to take up the post? And, with the benefit of distance
now, what hope does he hold out for Somalia?
