Thousands of people are being forcibly evicted from camps for internally displaced people
(IDPs) in (the centre of) Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu, where they have been sheltering from
cyclical, drought, famine and ongoing conflict which have ravaged the country for more than
two decades following state collapse after the fall of the Siad Barre regime in 1991. This
claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and forced hundreds of thousand more from their
homes.
