Mogadishu
Mogadishu (/ˌmɒɡəˈdiːʃuː/;[2][3] Somali: Muqdisho [mʉqdɪʃɔ];[stress and tone?] Arabic: مقديشو, translit. Muqadīshū [muqaˈdiːʃuː]; Italian: Mogadiscio), locally known as Xamaror Hamar, is the capital and most populous city of Somalia. Located in the coastal Banadir region on the Indian Ocean, the city has served as an important port for millennia.[4] As of 2017, it had a population of 2,425,000 residents.[1]

Tradition and old records assert that southern Somalia, including the Mogadishu area, was historically inhabited by hunter-gatherers. These were later joined by Cushitic-speaking agro-pastoralists, who would go on to establish local aristocracies. During its medieval Golden Age, Mogadishu was ruled by the Muzaffar dynasty, a vassal of the Ajuran Sultanate. It subsequently fell under the control of an assortment of local Sultanates and polities, most notably the Sultanate of the Geledi. The city later became the capital of Italian Somaliland (1889–1936) in the colonial period [5]. After the Somali Republic became independent in 1960, Mogadishu became known and promoted as the White Pearl of the Indian Ocean. After the ousting of the Siad Barre regime in 1991 and the ensuing Somali Civil War, various militias fought for control of the city, later to be replaced by the Islamic Courts Union in the mid-2000s. The ICU thereafter splintered into more radical groups, notably al-Shabaab, which fought the Transitional Federal Government (2004–2012) and its African Union Mission to Somalia allies. With a change in administration in late 2010, government troops and their military partners had succeeded in forcing out Al-Shabaab by August 2011. Mogadishu has subsequently experienced a period of intense reconstruction.
As Somalia's capital city, many important national institutions are based in Mogadishu. It is the seat of the Federal Government of Somalia established in August 2012, with the Somalia Federal Parliament serving as the government's legislative branch. Abdirahman Omar Osman has been the Mayor of Mogadishu since January 2018. Villa Somaliais the official residential palace and principal workplace of the President of Somalia, Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed. In May 2012, the First Somali Bank was established in the capital, which organized Mogadishu's first ever Technology, Entertainment, Design(TEDx) conference. The establishment of a local construction yard has also galvanized the city's real-estate sector. Arba'a Rukun Mosque is one of the oldest Islamic places of worship in the capital, built circa AH 667 (1268–69 CE). The Mosque of Islamic Solidarity in Mogadishu is the largest masjid in the Horn region. Mogadishu Cathedral was built in 1928 by the colonial authorities in Italian Somalia in a Norman Gothic style, and served as the traditional seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Mogadiscio. The National Museum of Somalia is based in Mogadishu and holds many culturally important artefacts. The National Library of Somalia is undergoing a US$1.5 million Somali federal government funded renovation, including a new library complex.
Mogadishu is home to a number of scholastic and media institutions. As part of the municipality's urban renewal program, 100 schools across the capital are scheduled to be refurbished and reopened. The Somali National University (SNU) was established in the 1950s, and professors from the university later founded the non-governmental Mogadishu University (MU). Benadir University (BU) was established in 2002 with the intention of training doctors. Various national sporting bodies have their headquarters in Mogadishu, including the Somali Football Federation and the Somali Olympic Committee. Mogadishu Stadium was constructed in 1978 during the Siad Barreadministration, with the assistance of Chinese engineers. It hosts football matches
Peace hopes as Somali rebels chased out of Mogadishu
The African Union forces have taken the 'Pasta Factory' -- one of the last positions in the Somali capital held by the Al-Shebab militia. So does this mean that Mogadishu's residents can finally breathe easy, for the first time in 20 years? Duration: 02:25

Somali Architecture Presents: Mogadishu 3D Model - What Remains
What Remains:
What remains when the war ends? Ruins preserve histories that are often forgotten. In the face of conflict and destruction, ruins are proof that there was something before the wreckage, before the war, and before the painful emotions they now evoke. Not all ruins are the same; some buildings remain standing despite attempts to turn them into rubble. They are manifestations of people’s indestructible hope, resilience, and survival.
Somalia’s exhibition traces the history of Somali architecture before and after the civil war, from its pre-colonial heritage to its unique British and Italian colonial past, through to the post-independence socialist modernism of the late twentieth century. The exhibit will also reflect on the impact of the civil war on this architectural heritage. Visitors will be guided through images and video projection that follow the devastation which not only transformed the physical landscape of the country but also carried with it unimaginable human costs.
The 3D model was an extensive project that started as collecting image to making the 3D models, and finally into a video. please support by sharing our video. Thank you
Mogadishu rebuilds after years of war
The city of Mogadishu was almost entirely destroyed by a 20 year civil war that left thousands of people dead, and forced thousands more to flee. Now that the Al-Qaeda backed group Al-Shebab have fled the city, rebuilding work has begun to try and restore the city to its former glory. Duration: 02:10

Somalia: Al-Shabab attack at Mogadishu port kills dozens
Al-Shabab fighters in Somalia are claiming responsibility for a car bomb attack that killed 29 people in the capital, Mogadishu. Drivers were queuing to get into a port when the blast happened.
Al Jazeera's Emike Umolu explains.
Uncertain calm falls over Mogadishu
The withdrawal of militant Islamic group al-Shabaab has left a relatively calm atmosphere in the Somalian capital.
Somalia: deadly blast near Mogadishu port kills dozens
A huge suicide car bomb in Somalia's capital Mogadishu has killed at least 29 people, police say.
Dozens of others were also reportedly injured in the blast, which took place next to one of the city's biggest ports.
The militant group Al Shabab has said it was behind the deadly attack.
The explosion was apparently so big it could be heard across the entire city.
I came out of the sea port and sat down next to a shop just in front of it and then there was a huge blast from inside the ki…

Alshabaab ejected from Mogadishu
Somalia's president Sheikh Sharif Ahmed today declared his military has finally defeated the Al-shabaab militia battling to overthrow his government. He made the statement as government forces took control of positions abandoned by the militant group. Al-shabab withdrew its fighters from Mogadishu after a fierce gunbattle late Friday with Africa union peacekeepers and Somali government forces. The militants had managed to hold the positions for months by creating a network of tunnels from which it was hard to dislodge them. Al-shabab spokesman sheikh Ali rage said the retreat was a tactical move and insisted the insurgents will remain in other towns in southern Somalia.
Displaced Somalis face tough living in camps
The world's largest concentration of internally displaced persons (IDP) Is in the Somali capital of Mogadishu.
Somalis seek safety in inundated camps on a daily basis, as women, children, and the elderly are increasingly affected by the domestic unrest in the country.
People have been forced to flee to the volatile capital due to ongoing clashes between the African Union Mission soldiers and the al-Shabaab militant group.
Halima Aden is one of many vulnerable elderly Somalis seeking refuge at the camps. She says she needs food, but is too weak to work for it.
70-year old Habiba Mohammed has been displaced from the Bay region in central Somalia and said she journeyed 20 days to seek refuge and safety at a camp. She lost children along the way and her husband is in a relative's home recuperating from a limb he broke en route to Mogadishu.
Hashi Jimale is even less fortunate as he is a victim of a bullet wound to his leg. He says he cannot return to his house because Burundian forces have set-up camp there. The camp for IDPs is his only solace.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees estimates 1.36 million Somalis are internally displaced, while neighboring countries like Ethiopia, Kenya, and Yemen currently shelter around 983,000 Somali refugees.

Mogadishu Hospitals Adjust To Security
As the security situation in Somalia improves, Doctors in Mogadishu are grappling with a new challenge of treating illnesses that were often ignored at the height of the conflict. This follows the rise of non-war-related trauma cases and the doctor's lack of experience of dealing with common conditions
