It's the ultimate failed state -- a land of war, banditry and piracy. And after Bin Laden's death, its civil war with Islamist extremists has gained even greater importance for the West. But what is it like to live in the anarchy of Somalia?

Reporter Peter Greste goes where no western journalist has been to witness a crisis that threatens millions of lives. He ventures through the streets of Mogadishu, dubbed the most dangerous city in the world, to meet those who attempt to live amid a deadly civil war.

Greste visits refugee camps -- among them the world's largest -- as well as hospitals and markets along the frontline to witness the fighting at first hand.
