NAIROBI, KENYA: Eastleigh, a commercial hub on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya, is widely known as small Mogadishu due to the huge number of Somali immigrants inhabiting the town.
The Somalis' vibrant engagement in business makes them stand out in the district. Their huge population, which has eclipsed that of locals, has made them own the town.
