Though associated with insecurity for years, recent developments there are making it an attractive investment option.

The Mogadishu government is making strides towards sustainable stability. Besides joining anti-piracy efforts and holding security conferences, it now controls its airspace, which was under the United Nations since 1992.
The African Union is preparing to leave the country — a testament of an improved security situation.
