Somalia welcomes its first bowling alley as the middle class and diaspora returnees grow

MOGADISHU: In a city long defined by conflict, Somalia ‘s capital of Mogadishu now echoes with the crash of pins at the country’s first modern bowling alley. It’s the latest sign of revival in the once-thriving Indian Ocean port shaped by 35 years of civil war and militant bombings. Millions of people were forced to flee what became one of the world’s most dangerous cities. Those who remained avoided public spaces as the Al-Qaeda-linked group Al-Shabab waged an insurgency against the Somali state.
