Radio Jubba is a radio station based in Baidoa, located approximately 250 km northwest of Mogadishu, Somalia. In April 2009, the station made international headlines when heavily-armed members of Al-Shabaab stormed its studios, closed the station, and arrested three journalists: station manager Muktar Mohamed Atosh, editor Mohamed Adawe Adan, and reporter Mohamed Nur Mohamed.
