Escape from Mogadishu

Escape from Mogadishu (Korean title: 모가디슈, Mogadisyu; lit. "Mogadishu") is a 2021 Korean action-drama film. The film, which is based on true events, takes place in 1991 at the height of the Somali Civil War and the military coup d'état against the government of Somali general and president Mohamed Siad Barre, and follows a group of South and North Korean diplomats and their families as they attempt to hide from and escape the violence and anarchy-filled streets of the Somali capital of Mogadishu.

==Rebel pictures==
Somali rebels are seen holding multiple North Korea-supplied firearms in two images.
thumb|none|600px|Somali rebels can be seen holding a Heckler & Koch G3, SKS, and multiple RPKs (with their furniture and bipods missing) in the image on the left. Kang Dae-jin (Zo In-sung) identifies one of the rifles as a sniper-customized North Korean "Type 78 AK-47 rifle"; North Korea is known to have a sniper rifle known as the Type 78, but it appears to be more closely related to the Romanian PSL rifle compared to any AK-series rifle. In the image on the right, the rebels can be seen holding an M16A1, another G3, and several AKS-47s. Dae-jin (incorrectly) identifies the AKS-47 as a North Korean Type 68, a copy of the AKM.
