The Wall
A massive security wall divides the city of Mogadishu, Somalia. On one side, millions of Somalis live with the daily threat of violence. On the other side is a UN compound that houses international diplomats, aid workers and peacekeepers. Movement between these two worlds is severely restricted. What do people imagine is beyond the wall?
