The Somali capital, Mogadishu, shows signs of recovery, with busy streets that were once deserted.
Security has improved, but checkpoints and patrols remain part of daily life as the threat from al-Shabab continues.
Police closely inspect all vehicles entering the city, using both manual checks and digital systems.
Despite progress, recent incidents, including a prison break and a suicide bombing, highlight ongoing risks.
Outside the Green Zone, many residents face economic hardship alongside security concerns.
People acknowledge the city is safer than in previous years, but instability persists.
Mogadishu is rebuilding, yet remains vigilant as it navigates a fragile security environment.
