A young boy enjoys a day out at Lido beach in Mogadishu, Somalia, on January 31.
The Mogadishu lifeguards, consisting entirely of a volunteer force of fisherman, began patrolling Lido beach in September 2013 after a spate of drownings. Mogadishu's beaches have become a popular destination for the city's residents since al Shabab withdrew the majority of its militants from the city in 2011. AU UN IST PHOTO / Tobin Jones.
