    Local women perform a traditional Somali dance during a bazaar on Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti, Oct. 27, 2013. In an effort to bring a taste of Africa to camp and boost morale for those deployed here, 443rd Civil Affairs Battalion organizers worked with the local community to bring 12 vendors to sell their wares during the bazaar. Events like this help strengthen the bond between Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa and host nations by showing community support and outreach. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt.
