  • Mogadishu was beautiful city in the past. You have destroyed what could be the source of money for that city, the only "tourists" who will go to your country, will wear the helmets and guns :((( bad for you ...
  • I don't think even soldiers will be visiting this place again. Somolia has nothing worth taking, and the world has learned the futility of trying to help these people. Somalia will remain forgotten by the civilized world.
