You’ve never heard a single good thing and you likely know nothing about it except it’s supposed to be scary. Honestly, it’s for pretty good reason. Somalia is 30 years into a brutal Civil War that has taken a huge toll on the once thriving country. In that time, Somalia has been and is a safe haven for terrorist groups; has endured regular terror attacks, suicide bombings, and assassinations. It’s considered a failed state in the eyes of the world. But behind every negative media story and political naivety exist real people living real lives. One day in Mogadishu, Somalia showed me that there is life and there is hope in this proud city of 2.5 million people.
