Descripción del sitio
Wadajir, also known as Medina, is another district of Mogadishu. Recently, it has proven to be an extremely violent part of the city. The Union of Islamic Courts, which controls most of the city, is attempting to take a southern area held by warlord Abdi Qeybdid. According to BBC News, â??The fighting has focused on the Medina district, through which traffic to the south travels." This is made clear by a city map of Mogadishu from 1987 which shows that Medina is the location of several large roads as well as the cityâ??s airport. Medina is just off the coast and south of Xamar Weyne (Mogadishu: Images from the Past).
