The industry there is also finding a place in the international export market. Photos taken by Stuart Price for the African Union-United Nations Information Support Team.

Every morning Mogadishu’s fisherman bring their catch ashore upon which it is quickly unloaded and transported to Xamar Weyne’s fish market where it is sold for consumption on the local market and, increasingly, for export to other countries.
