Second day in Mogadishu.
The Ugandan contingent of the AMISOM is making our stay very welcoming.
We have been able to visit Mogadishu's stadium, University and 'Tropical Hotel' where Ugandan and Burundian forces have taken position within the past year and now say Al Shabaabs are totally out of Somalia's sector 1.
We are now planning to meet OCHA workers at some IDP camps on Saturday and to walk around the market and the beach front where Somalis are supposed to start coming back and enjoying a new 'normal' life.
So many encounters. But it is still difficult to be sure how far peace and security have won over in Mogadishu.
More soon.
