Mogadishu skyline transformed in Somalia development boom

It is more than a decade since the armed group al-Shabab was pushed out of Somalia's capital, Mogadishu.
Since then, a relative calm has returned to the coastal city.
And now an economic boom is fuelling a surge in property development.

Al Jazeera’s Catherine Soi reports from Mogadishu, Somalia.

There is a construction boom all over Somalia with places that were little villages 25-30 years ago turning into towns and cities. Somalia is firmly on the path of recovery and seeing our ancient capital Mogadishu regain her beautiful beauty is a joy to witness. Alhamdullilah.
