UN head Ban Ki-moon is visiting the Somali capital, Mogadishu – the highest-ranking foreign official to go there in years.<\/p>\n

He was wearing a bulletproof vest as he was welcomed at the airport by Somalia’s prime minister.<\/p>\n

His visit comes a day after the fiercest clashes in the city for several months.<\/p>\n

Islamist militants are battling the forces of the UN-backed government and African Union troops.<\/p>\n

Somalia has been racked by war for two decades and has not had a functioning national government since 1991. <\/p>\n
