Dhobley town in Somalia’s southern region was once ravaged by violence, factional strife and constant attacks by Al Shabaab militants.

But today, Dhobley’s residents cannot help but marvel at the first-ever tarmac road that now connects the region to Afmadhow, an important city in the middle of the Juba region bordering Kenya.
