00:00 (dramatic music)

00:02 It's Samira's second day in Mogadishu,

00:06 and despite the danger,

00:08 she's still keen to see more of the city she was born in.

00:11 But to do so, she's risking her life,

00:14 and all precautions are taken.

00:16 - That's probably about right.

00:17 Okay?

00:18 (dramatic music)

00:29 - For the troops, it's a routine tour of the city,

00:31 but for Samira, it's stepping into the abyss.

00:34 - Let's get some more guys.

00:37 Stick with what these guys say,

00:39 yeah, or what I say.

00:40 Don't worry, we've got the gaps up top.

00:44 (woman vocalizing)

00:56 - The destruction is worse than Samira expected.

00:59 The city has been reduced to a pile

01:02 of machine gun chewed bricks, ripped apart by violence.

01:05 The killing goes on.

01:08 Suicide bombs, RPGs, beheadings, medieval style stonings,

01:13 all are commonplace in this city of terror.

01:17 - These things are extremely brave.

01:20 It's just so easy, I'll break it up.

01:25 - Like Samira's family, most people have run from the city,

01:30 but Samira wants to find out what it's like

01:32 for those from her generation left behind.

01:35 (dramatic music)

01:39 (car engine revving)

01:42 - Even though it looks absolutely devastating now,

01:59 I can imagine what this could look like.

02:07 - Before the war, Mogadishu was known

02:09 for its classical Italian architecture

02:12 and its sandy beaches.

02:13 Idyllically set on the Indian Ocean,

02:20 Mogadishu was once full of holiday makers.

02:23 - So this hotel, when it was working as a hotel,

02:33 down there it was nightclub.

02:35 - Really?

02:35 - Yeah.

02:36 - For reasons of civil war, you see it's been destroyed.

02:39 - Samira has come to meet Abdi, a 29-year-old translator.

02:43 He has spent his whole life in Mogadishu

02:46 and is part of the lost generation of Somalis.

02:48 - It's not so good to survive here.

02:50 Morning when you wake up and go to town,

02:54 maybe you are not sure that you will come back.

02:57 Maybe someone may deem to kill you without reason.

03:02 - How has the war affected you?

03:06 - For me?

03:07 - Yeah.

03:08 - I like to be a doctor, but it's fortunate.

03:11 I didn't get that chance for sake of war.

03:15 I'm still sad when I'm talking about Somalia.

03:19 I lost my life, I lost my future.

03:24 There's nothing I have at all.

03:28 I think that I'm already dead.

03:34 This country is too beautiful to waste.

03:36 It's too beautiful to just say this is it.

03:40 - Samira had hoped to visit the house she was born in,

03:50 but has been told it's too dangerous.

03:52 Instead, she gets a chance to go to the ruins

04:00 of a football stadium.

04:02 (train rumbling)

04:04 To meet Shukri, born in the same year, the same month,

04:08 and in the same district as Samira.

04:10 - Samira.

04:11 - Samira.

04:12 (speaking in foreign language)

04:15 - How's life been here?

04:17 (speaking in foreign language)

04:18 - But it's hard.

04:19 (laughing)

04:20 (speaking in foreign language)

04:24 (laughing)

04:30 - She said, "Take me now, take me to London."

04:33 - Samira has always wondered how her life might have been

04:38 if she'd stayed in Mogadishu.

04:40 And talking to Shukri gives her a chance to find out.

04:43 (speaking in foreign language)

04:47 For girls of the same age, their lives are poles apart.

04:55 Samira has just started her modeling career,

04:58 while Shukri was married at 15

05:00 and had her first child a year later.

05:02 But it's Shukri's experience of war

05:05 that Samira finds difficult to come to terms with.

05:08 How many children?

05:10 (speaking in foreign language)

05:15 (speaking in foreign language)

05:18 (speaking in foreign language)

05:22 - I can't.

05:48 Why did they do this?

05:50 - Arms.

05:53 Arms.

05:56 Arms, I've got it.

06:00 - The thought that actually this is how my life would be

06:06 if me and my family stayed,

06:08 or whether I would be alive or dead,

06:12 I don't really know.

06:15 I feel very frustrated and angry

06:17 that nobody's stopping this torture and suffering.

06:21 Oh, gosh.

06:27 - Samira has just got back into the compound

06:33 when some news comes in.

06:35 There's been a skirmish at the stadium.

06:37 - The stadium's just been hit.

06:40 - Where we were?

06:41 Are you serious?

06:44 The stadium that we were just at has been hit?

06:47 - Tons.

06:48 20 minutes after the attack.

06:51 - Oh, my gosh.

06:52 What about Shukri?

06:55 She came?
