Overview
Mogadishu is the largest city in Somalia, the capital city of Somalia and an administrative region in south-eastern Somalia. Located in the coastal region of Banadir, Mogadishu is the commerce harbour of Somalia.
Known for its beautiful white sandy beaches, the city is linked by road with Kenya and Ethiopia and is home to Somalia’s international airport.
The city is divided into 16 administrative districts. After the ousting former president Siad Barre regime and the ensuing civil war various militias fought for control of the city, later to be replaced by the Islamic Courts Union (ICU) in 2006.
The ICU thereafter splintered into more radical groups like Al Shabaab which fought the Transitional Federal Government and AU Peacekeepers. With a change in administration in late 2010, federal control of Mogadishu steadily expanded.
The pace of territorial gains also greatly accelerated, as more trained government and AMISOM troops entered the city.
