Mogadishu is the capital and largest city of Somalia, home to approximately 2.4 million residents. It operates on East Africa Time (EAT, UTC+3), a fixed year-round offset. Mogadishu was once called the 'White Pearl of the Indian Ocean' — a thriving cosmopolitan port city with beautiful colonial Italian architecture and a storied history as a major trading hub dating back over 1,000 years. However, the collapse of the Somali state after the 1991 civil war turned Mogadishu into a byword for urban warfare and humanitarian crisis. The Battle of Mogadishu (1993), in which US forces engaged Somali militia in the incident popularised by the film Black Hawk Down, became one of the Cold War era's most consequential urban battles. Since 2012, Somalia has established a federal government, and Mogadishu is gradually rebuilding — new hotels, restaurants, and businesses have reopened, and the city is beginning a cautious recovery. The Lido Beach seafront has seen new development. Somalia's coastline (3,333km) is Africa's longest.
