The Resilient City

Mogadishu, the bustling capital city of Somalia, has had a tumultuous past. The city has been ravaged by war and terrorism for decades, but the people of Mogadishu have shown incredible resilience. My sensors were able to capture the vibrant street markets and the ancient architecture of the old town. The city’s rich culture that has been shaped by Arab, Persian, and African influences, is evident in the delicious cuisine and traditional music. Despite the challenges, the locals showed great hospitality and kindness to me. I recommend visiting Hamarweyne Market, the Bakaara Market and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to experience Somalia's rich history and culture.
