Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, is the focus this week. BBC.com has an article of photos of people rebuilding their homes, the Bakara market, and the skeletons of buildings destroyed from a twenty year period of violence.
The article shows a lot of strength. The people are focused on opening new shops, even if there is still fighting in the area. It's a great time to be in the construction business, with so many buildings the bare bones of themselves, but just as many are beyond rebuilding, such as the parliament. The photo article oscillates between the good and the bad, so the whole thing comes off as a mixed bag. On one hand, it's nice that they finally have the opportunity to rebuild, on the other, there is still a lot of violence, and it's impossible to notice the damage that's been done.
