Small
and private industries are mushrooming in Mogadishu with the
growing hope for the rebirth of Somalia as a result of the
ongoing peace meeting in Djibouti.
Ordinary
citizens are also painting and redecorating their houses in
an anticipation for the forthcoming government for Somalia
after ten years of anarchy and civil strive.
Administrator
of a noodle factory recently built in the capital city, Dahir
Mohamud Nur, said the prevailing peace and the demands of
the local markets in Somalia for the Italian noodles have
encouraged them to invest into this project.
The culture
of Somalia's former colonial power, Italy, is emerging in
Mogadishu, as the first emerging small factories seem to be
concentrated on the Italian style foodstuffs.
There
are also some other Italian food factory recently came into
being in the war-torn country, producing spaghetti with imported
wheat.
A medium-sized
plastic plant has only now got out of its trial period, producing
shopping plastic bags.
As the
small industries and businesses prosper in Mogadishu, hundreds
of people have also started refurbishing their houses and
painting them.
Owing
to the envisaged peace, many of the public transport buses
earlier made blackened metallic shells on wheels for looting
proof are now being reincarnated with new spare parts such
as windshields, new tires etc.
Many
of those buses have also been serviced in an effort of stopping
their intoxication of the air with the huge smoke from their
exhausts
