Dropping different bombs: Somali basketball
Some Somali women love basketball. Playing basketball.
Reporting from Somalia, in between the usual gunfights and misery, you stumble across informal football matches just like in any other country on this soccer-mad continent.
But in Somalia basketball is almost as popular as soccer. And not just with men.
Somewhat surprisingly Mogadishu’s female basketball team shows that even the women of Somalia love to play the game with the hoop.
