Video: On the streets of Mogadishu: Somalia strives for 'peace and stability' President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud will arrive in London tomorrow ahead of a major international conference on Somalia that he will co-host with David Cameron. Ravaged by war for more than 20 years, including most recently a violent insurgency by al-Qaeda-linked militants, many believe that Somalia stands at a turning point. The Sunday Telegraph visited the streets of Mogadishu to find a city and a country struggling to rebuild itself from the ruins of war.
