Summary

Description
العربية: مقديشو، العاصمة الصوماليَّة يوم 10 تشرين الأوَّل (أكتوبر) 2015م. رجلٌ يحملُ قرشًا ضخمًا من جنس أبي مطرقة ويسيرُ به في شوارع المدينة.
English: Mogadishu, Somalia. 10/10/2015. A man carries a huge hammerhead shark through the streets of Mogadishu. A recent escalation of plunders of Somali waters by foreign fishing vessels could mean the return of hijackings, locals warn.

The country's waters have been exploited by illegal fisheries and the economic infrastructure that once provided jobs has been ravaged. Somalia has been at war for the last 25 years, but 2017 is a turning point. This country in the Horn of Africa is holding its first free elections since 1969; a whole culture is being overturned. Those who created it have shot and killed, but finally, they are on the losing side. A counter-diaspora is under way, with young and old leaving safe ground to return home. They are building, investing, coming together and encouraging one another.

Beauty parlours and nightclubs are opening up; young folks are timidly starting to play music before live audiences, practise sport in shorts in the stadiums and make their voices heard in politics. Let this roar of hope drown out the roar of the bombs going off at the checkpoints: the girls of Mogadishu are heading back to the beach!
Українська: Чоловік несе величезну акулу-молота по вулиці Могадішо, Сомалі.
