Streetlights bring normality to Mogadishu
Last night I went for a stroll in Mogadishu.
For twenty-odd years the dusty streets of this infamously dangerous city have emptied in a furious hurry at sunset.

Somalia's leader hails 'new era'
A year ago, Afgoye was under the control of Somalia's Islamist militant group, al-Shabab, which held most of the countryside beyond Mogadishu.
But if they have lost control of many key towns these days, al-Shabab can still cause trouble.

Somali struggle for unity continues
It's a bumpy half hour's drive inland from Mogadishu - with its furious traffic, its ruins, and its vast camps of displaced families - to the sleepy farming town of Afgoye.
After the dust and frenzy of the capital, Afgoye is almost shockingly green, surrounded by lush, well-irrigated fields. Trucks piled high with bananas rattle past us.
