Mogadishu, Somalia: Historic City in the Horn of Africa
Mogadishu, the capital and largest city of Somalia, is located on the Indian Ocean coast in northeast Africa and has a population of about 2 million. Founded in the 10th century AD, the city was once an ancient trading town, famous for its spices and textiles. Its name is derived from the Persian word "Maq'ad-i-Shah", meaning "King's Throne", reflecting its long history.
Mogadishu has an important natural harbor and is the economic and cultural center of Somalia. The city's architecture is a blend of Arab, Persian and African styles, such as the historic Albatros Market and the Hamawin Mosque. However, since the civil war in 1991, Mogadishu has faced security challenges and infrastructure reconstruction needs, but in recent years is gradually regaining stability and development.
