Yeah, I don't recall ever seeing/hearing that city name before. And sadly wasn't sure where Somalia was, either. Sigh. I'm not as educated as I'd like to think I am.
That would really depend on what governement you were supporting. Do you want the capital of the exile gov't? The islamic front gov't, or what? (Aren't I a stinker?)
Mr. Kluges wants to know why you have a velomobile for your profile pic 'cuz he wants one. (The vehicle, not the pic.) Also he got the capital right, based on the movie reference.
It's Mogadishu. My step-dad told me only 1 person out of 100 could come up with it so I wanted to see how many of the people I know, who I consider very intelligent, could pull it out.

Now I looked it up- I think I might have been able to get it right if this had been a multiple choice quiz...
Lucky for me, I saw Black Hawk Down.
Which is, of course, the only reason I would ever show even a passing bit of interest in a country outside of our own.
USA! USA! USA!

Diplowhat aside, I knew the at least at one point correct answer.

I also knew the correct answer, thanks to spending entirely too much time listening to NPR and watching Black Hawk Down
I do not have a velomobile, and they don't even sell them in the US (arrogant Americans), but Bluevelo sells them in Canada.

I think this crowd listens to enough public radio to get it more right than most. We're smarter than the average bear.
Sorry, I'm a bit late but I admit I didn't know it. Geography never really was my strongest subject though....
