Mogadishu, Somalia, Information

Somalia, one of nine Arab countries located in Africa, just south of Yemen is an interesting 250,000-square-mile “7” configuration. Unfortunately, it is one of the world’s poorest countries, while at the same time enjoying rapid growth. That may be due in part to its being home to one of the youngest populations in the world. Somali is the official language. Arabic, English, and Italian are also spoken there. Somalians have been followers of Islam since the 17th Century. Mogadishu is the capital city. Chief exports include livestock, bananas, fish, hides and skins, myrrh, and petroleum products.
