it seems these days that game developers have left behind their russia vs us gameplays and are now focusing on somalia. all new games now feature a somali city. there was bosaso and now this city. even though they zoom into somewhere near Eyl they show a city built like mogadishu.

convinced a close relative to name their twins somali names. when we lose our names we lose ourselves.

Beachfront dining, fresh lobster, and a European clientele: Somalia's restaurant scene is quickly changing for the better. Somali businessman Ahmed Jama recently returned to Somalia from London to open two Western-style restaurants in two hotels he owns, one on the beachfront and the other downtown Mogadishu. His beachfront property boasts stylish beach beds and flat-screen TVs. It has quickly become Mogadishu's version of South Beach or the French Riviera. "I returned to my country with hope of bringing a new concept," Jama said at one of his lavish restaurants, called The Village. "I trained many people with cooking skills and they are working in the country now. I am so happy." Mogadishu — the war-torn capital of Somalia — has suffered from decades of war and insecurity. But it has blossomed in recent months in a way few could imagine even a year ago. It was only last August that African Union troops kicked al-Shabab militants out of the city. Since then, sports, arts and good food have returned. "This is the place of choice. Everyone recognizes it," said one of Jama's customers, as he sipped coffee and watched TV. Shirtless male swimmers reclined on lounge chairs nearby. Women in full-body bathing suits splashed in the ocean. Ice cream, seafood and hookah pipes are on the menu, though alcohol is not served since it is outlawed by the government. This wind-swept area in eastern of Mogadishu was long considered unusable, but Jama's hotel is thriving. His beachfront restaurant and hotel is the go-to place on Fridays for many residents. This is still Mogadishu, though, scene of insurgent suicide attacks and roadside bombs. Customers here must go through two security sweeps. The grounds are protected by armed guards. The beachfront hotel and restaurant has a Somali army base on one side and an African Union military base on the other, both only a few kilometers away. The property in the city is also close to government ministries. Jama wouldn't talk about the profitability of his businesses, but indicated they are doing well. Looking over a world map while back in London, he decided Mogadishu was the right place to open a new business. "I have been to Djibouti, Nairobi and Dubai, but found that Mogadishu offers the best business hope," he said while wearing black jeans, a black shirt and sunglasses. Government officials are frequent guests at Jama's restaurants. Even their presence is a sign of Mogadishu's improved fortunes. In the past, officials — who are favorite targets of al-Shabab assassins — were rarely seen at restaurants. Jama's culinary success comes alongside a general revival in Mogadishu. Turkey has reopened its embassy, the U.N. has moved in new staff here, and Turkey's national airline now makes regular flights to Mogadishu. Most of Jama's diners are European — frequently from Turkey — or from Somalia's diaspora. The prices are not exorbitant but most Somalis can't afford to dine here. The lobster dish costs $20, but steak goes for about $7 and pasta for $3. Don't ask for French preparation. "We don't serve foreign dishes. It's only Somali food. Our country has the best recipes," he said.

make sure you don't fall sleep. spurs play the most boring games.

we can only hope.

if the las geel paintings show men dancing around qat then i will believe that somalilanders did it years ago.

his kids were billionaires, they OWNED whole industries. media, transportation, farming. they partied in the west while average egyptians ate just onions. i am sure they loved it but now hosni is paying for it.

he would probably be using the somali passport.

i guess somaliland's motto now is what ever it takes to impress the white guy. particularly Britain which you have made your moral compass this is not gonna get you any recognition.

i would like to see a report on how much the world bank cheats third world countries.

i posted about how some officials were selling the invites for like 10,000 dollars to people who wanted to go to europe through turkey.

this is a dog eat dog world. where some people die of hunger while others buy multi million dollar vacation homes. NIN WALBOW NAFTAA NABIYOOW UMADAA.

disrespecting women is not funny. maybe to arabs but not to somalis. he needs to go to that fake land called wadia from the movie dictator. or perhaps somaliland since they are both imaginary.
