Somalia's capital Mogadishu is plagued with the effects of civil warfare and violence, and much of the city has gone in shambles. Much of the infrastructure has been destroyed, and many of the residents have fled or live in refugee buildings

All over, residents and visitors are neither safe from random kidnappings and coastal pirates nor the high volume of terrorists.

Dozens of people are injured daily, and hospitals are overcrowded with the casualties. Many of those who choose to remain in Mogadishu have ended up in the city's sprawling refugee camps. Some of the refugee camps are former ministries buildings, universities, schools and other campuses.
