A builder pauses during work on a building being constructed on one of the crash sites of Black Hawk Down in the Somali capital of Mogadishu 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.
