Djibouti (HAN) April 6, 2014 – Times have changed in Mogadishu! The once deserted streets of Mogadishu are now bustling with both human and vehicle traffic, thanks to the security provided by the Somali Security Forces and the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) troops.
The city is busting at the seams. There is a hive of commercial activities with a plethora of booming businesses such as restaurants, transport services, shops and garages. And for once, the residents of Mogadishu enjoy sun, sand and plenty of fun at the beach.
The Minister of Information of Somalia Information, Mustaf Sheikh Ali Duhulow, recently took a tour of the city of Mogadishu, and engaged in everyday routine of Mogadishu residents. He dined at local restaurants, conversed with the residents in the streets of Mogadishu, used different modes of transport to move around the city and enjoyed a swim at Lidda beach. All these without his security details.
