WARNING: Mogadishu is regarded as the most lawless and dangerous city on Earth

from WikiTravel:

Get in

It is possible to drive into the city by truck, but this is considered a risky activity, unless you employ a small battalion of local militia which are readily available for hire.

Get around

Some reports say that to get through intersections near markets crowded with people, those wealthy enough to have vehicles fire machine guns into the air to clear a path.

See

Your Untimely Demise. Any manner of life-ending experience is rarely more than a darkened corner away. To expedite the process consider ostentatious jewelery, anti-Islamic clothing or prominently displayed flags of unpopular western countries.

Run Away from Things

Always an enjoyable activity, the country is literally filled with things away from which one can run in fear.

Buy

The Bakaara Market is a focus of ongoing arms control efforts for the disarmament in Somalia. The market should be considered hazardous not only because of its content and the presence of some unsavory characters, but also because it has caught fire several times in the last few years.
