Somalia: Free market wasteland

After the December Tsunami had swept 3000 kilometers across the Indian Ocean, Somali fisherman Hassan Abdi discovered a large metal container in the surf north of Mogadishu. The dirt-poor people of Somalia recycle any material resource, thus Abdi and his friends hauled the three-meter container into town to cut up as scrap metal. Warned not to tamper with it, the fishermen left it outside a former government building in Mogadishu.
