@lukas: there are some Arabic-like words. I could figure out words like “hizb” (political party) and other things related to military or something. I guess it is a news broadcast. And I’m guessing Somali because I heard him say “Maqdisho”.
I thought it was probably Somali (because of the mention of Mogadiscio near the end). However, I was surprised at how many individual words sounded vaguely Spanish
Based on the intonation, I assumed it was some sort of political or religious broadcast. My guess had been something in the Turkic family, but I like TJ’s suggestion of Somali.
It differentiates between long and short vowels, which Somali does, but other languages from the Cushitic family also do. After comparing with the older Somali quiz http://www.omniglot.com/blog/?p=769
I think it isn’t totally the same, so I would guess it is, for example, Oromo.
It sounds like an archaic dialect of Arabic, or a language heavily influenced by it. Mehri, maybe?
Somali, I guess.
It has a semitic sense to it.

it sounds rather strange to be a news broadcast, I don’t know maybe the intonation patterns are part of the language…

Somali? Sounds like but isn’t quite Arabic …. I think I heard Mogadishu.
