Mogadishu's first solar-powered street lamps

After two decades of civil war, and being in darkness, one street in the Somali capital Mogadishu - the famous Mecca Mukarama Avenue, has been illuminated.

The lighting system donated by the Norwegian government uses power from solar panels on lamp posts.
