I started in the capital, Mogadishu, which I have visited many times over the years. What I found was an empty wasteland, just skeletons of buildings, wreckage, and rubble. What struck me most is that the city is empty. Most of Mogadishu's citizens have now fled because of the upsurge in fighting since last year.
