Mogadishu is currently home to a large number of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) who fall within the following 3 categories:

1. People from other parts ofSomaliadisplaced by war, drought or loss of livelihoods.
2. People forcefully removed from their homes or houses inMogadishuand who are now occupying public buildings in areas where their clans are the majority, and
3. Though in small numbers, Refugees fromEthiopia,Tanzania and Uganda 

Among the displaced are both International and Local Relief Agencies. The fact that the UN Mission forSomaliaoperates outside the country, is a major concern and testimony to the negative impact of the conflict. International Community and Organizations are not guaranteed any safety within the city at present.
