This topic's purpose is to showcase the Somali middle finger, which is repeatedly put up by the Mogadishans in front of the faces of those that seek to hold them back in the name of ideology or prophecies of supposed terror. This topic is dedicated to new developments and the regeneration of parts of this ancient metropolis by hardworking and peace loving Somali men and women. This topic is no place for nostalgia such as "it used to be the Pearl of the Indian Ocean", no place for politics, and no place for images depicting civil strife, this is exclusively a platform to highlight the resilience of the average Mogadishan, which is commonly overlooked.

Mogadishu University
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/be/Mogadishu_university.jpg

Mogadishu University is one of the greatest achievements of the people of Somalia during the civil war. Its vision is to be the premier non-state university in Somalia dedicated to providing affordable and accessible high quality education. There are thousands of students who are perusing their studies in 29 different departments. Graduates of the university work in the public and private sectors in all over Somalia . Some graduates received MA and PhD degrees and teach and participate at the universities in reconstructing the devastated war-torn country.

Most of these buildings are either Iconic, have sentimental value or are very ancient, especially the waterfront with the hotels and old fortress, so them being replaced by new/alien looking designs is highly unlikely. They will be restored to their former state. Public buildings such as the old parliament house are being regenerated as we speak.

These are only several buildings, and it doesn't take long until they have some damages from shootings and granades, so it might be too soon to talk about renovation of the whole city.

There are pics around the net that could be posted but they really aren't appealing. Rather ugly actually.

Personally I think this is a good opportunity for it to be rebuilt from the ground up. At least the TFG could have done was beautify their controlled areas.

Unfortunately, virtually all of the buildings you just saw are vacant and riddled with bullets and shells. They were all located in the Bakara Market and that was the latest scene of fighting. They were beautiful just a few months back but turned to dust recently.

The Old city should be preseved and renovated as well as the center but I dont see the value of redoing the entire city, its too large and could use more up to date buildings and infrastructure.

If this peace is kept up and the government gradually becomes more assertive, the city will be BOOMING in perhaps 1-2 years.

Right now, there are a lot of risk-taking people there taking advantage of this. They will be rich soon.

Guys, I moved the military photos to the general Somalia photo thread, the military photos are kind of counterproductive to the OP's original aim for this thread.

This topic is no place for nostalgia such as "it used to be the Pearl of the Indian Ocean", no place for politics, and no place for images depicting civil strife, this is exclusively a platform to highlight the resilience of the average Mogadishan, which is commonly overlooked.

Let's keep the photos strictly non-political here...

FAIT trucks are the best, but indeed, I agree with you their time has past and they need to retire them soon.

In addition, they (TFG) should build a new port for Mogadisho if they can get a new investment for it.

For now, this port should be enough. Somalia has quite a few large ports which will serve other regions.

Mogadisho port is mismanaged as far as I know. It also needs repairs, because 20 years of non maintanance is long time.

Bosaso port is too small to serve south and central Somalia.

Easily, the little diaspora investment currently trickling into the city alone is already creating a construction frenzy, this will only increase as stability takes firmly root.

It is a place called Jazira which was formerly a suburb of Mogadishu, but because of the growth of Mogadishu in the past 20 years or so, it is now essentially part of Mogadishu for the most part.
