377235 04: Somali soldiers work to keep law and order for the Islamic court August 6, 2000, which is the closest thing to an organized police force in Mogadishu, Somalia. Mogadishu, which is largely in ruins and still without a government since a civil war which ended in 1993, is now ruled by various armed clans or warlords, who oppose the idea of organized government. A conference in Djibouti, which has been going on for more than two months, is aimed at establishing a new Somali president and assembly. (Photo by Tyler Hicks/Liaison)
