A man walks up a hill in front of Bakara Market in the capital of Mogadishu, Somalia, on October 2. Two decades after the infamous Battle of Mogadishu, in which the United States lost eighteen soldiers during a mission into Bakara Market, Somalia is finally showing signs of recovery from its more than two decades of civil war. Nowhere is this more evident than in Mogadishu's Bakara Market, where business is thriving and new shops continue to be opened everyday. AU UN IST PHOTO / TOBIN JONES.
