		Muslims from the Arabian Peninsula colonized Mogadishu circa 900.
		The origin of the name "Mogadishu" is unclear; one version claims it as the Somali version of the Arabic language name "maqad shah" (imperial seat of the shah), another version claims that it is a Somali version of the Swahili "mwyu ma" (last northern city).

	ReliefWeb » Document Preview » Blast at premier's speech in Mogadishu highlights Somalia's troubles
		An official with an aid agency that works extensively in Somalia called the explosion "an extremely powerful symbol (that) could affect the peace process," adding that numerous otherwise competing interests, notably the warlords who control the city and are at odds with Gedi, stood to benefit from continued instability.
		Matt Bryden, Somalia analyst for the respected International Crisis Group, said it was unlikely that the blast would seriously affect the peace process but that combined with other factors was indicative of myriad problems in restoring stability to the country.
		Bullet-scarred Mogadishu has been a hub of instability in Somalia which was plunged into anarchy after the 1991 ouster of strongman Mohammed Siad Barre.

		Rising from the ruins of the Mogadishu skyline are signs of one of Somalia's few success stories in the anarchy of recent years.
		While Telcom Somalia has some 25,000 mobile customers - and a similar number have land lines - you very rarely see anyone walking along the streets of Mogadishu chatting on their phone, in case this attracts the attention of a hungry gunman.
		Somalia's telecoms companies are looking forward to an even brighter future with the support of a functioning government - as long as it does not impose punitive tax rates or state control in a sector which obviously needs very little help to thrive.
