My Latest Mogadishu Photo Album

Image
Here are some of the photos I took on my latest trip to Mogadishu A sunny day in Mogadishu  Mogadishu port is open for business Dhow - many of the sailors are Gujaratis and Yemenis - many carry goods from Dubai. The port is being run by a Turkish company Mogadishu's first apartment blocks I hope this will one day be my apartment (if I can afford it)   My future Mogadishu jacuzzi  Pakistanis putting in the lifts for the apartments I got lost in Villa Somalia - home of the government Eventually I found my way to the president's office - these are the 8 Somalia's presidents With President Number Eight - Hassan Sheikh Mohamud Negotiating road blocks can be tiresome and time consuming The Turks have fixed some of the roads.  So taxis and wheelbarrows filled with fresh Afgoye fruit can move around...   ....except during the frequent security alerts and lockdowns...   ...which disrupt business and daily life.    If you look carefully you can see the people are wearing face masks..
