These are men discussing the disarming of the Warlords.
The man on the left says. “Disarming the warlords is a triumph for the people living in Mogadishu”.
The man in the middle says ” That is OK but reconciliation and forgiveness must have been reached before disarming the people.”
The man in the right corner says “What puzzles me is that arms are being sold at the Sky shooter (Cirtoogte) market while at the same time arms are being confiscated from the homes of Mogadishu residents”
