A Somali woman arranges dried spices for sale at her stall in the Eastleigh neighbourhood of Nairobi, June 25, 2009. The bustling Eastleigh suburb has been the hub of business for Kenyan-Somalis and thousands of refugees escaping civil war in neighbouring Somalia for decades. But as people flee the continuing conflict in Somalia, the population is outgrowing Eastleigh's "Little Mogadishu" and Somalis are venturing into other parts of the city. Picture taken June 25, 2009.
