Businesses and the transportation of people and traffic in the main junction of K4 and Makka al-Mukarama road have been reopened Saturday after the fierce fighting between AU troops supporting government forces and the hardline Islamist rebels in Mogadishu.
The business centers were closed for a week and people started to reopen their business centers in the city.
The move came after clan elders succeeded to convince the hardline rebels to stop the fighting which displaced 17000 newly returnees.
Hardline Shabaab militia and other Islamist fighters have waged battles against the government and its allies. At least 50 people were killed last week in the bloodiest clashes since the president was elected.
They have vowed to fight on until all foreign forces in Somalia withdraw and sharia is imposed.
The African Union peacekeepers whom they have also repeatedly attacked are the only foreign troops in the country after Ethiopian soldiers pulled out last month.
