On 17 September 2025, the Mayor of Mogadishu inaugurated 12 roads in the Hawo Taako district of Hawlwadaag, according to Mustaqbal Media. The same report identified the Mayor as Dr. Hassan Mohamed Hussein (Muungaab), who holds the dual role of Mayor of Mogadishu and Governor of the Banadir Regional Administration.

The report does not establish what has happened since. It does not say whether the 12 roads remain open, have been maintained, or form part of a larger programme. No completion status, road length, surface specification or timeline is given. No cost, budget figure, allocation, expenditure, contractor or consultant is stated for the 12 roads or for any of the other roads mentioned.

## What the Mayor said, and what the report does not show

Mustaqbal Media reported that Mayor Muungaab stated that stability and security in Mogadishu have led to visible improvements in the city's development. He reiterated the administration's dedication to reinvesting taxpayers' money into tangible services, with a focus on construction and maintenance of essential roadways, the report said.

On the Industrial Road, the Mayor announced progress on construction and said an assessment is currently underway, according to the same report. The report does not state whether the Industrial Road has been completed, what the assessment covers, or when it might conclude. On the Daalo and Fagah roads, the Mayor promised that work would soon be visibly addressed. No start date, funding source or contract award is given for either road.

The report also said the Mayor urged the public to participate in maintaining cleanliness and the city's aesthetic as a shared responsibility.

## Attendance and open questions

Mustaqbal Media reported that the inauguration ceremony was attended by officials including Deputy Chairman for Public Works Abdimajiid Daahir Adan, other regional administration directors and local leaders. The title "Deputy Chairman for Public Works" is as printed in the report and is not otherwise defined.

> **Note:** The report uses the spelling "Muungaab" for the Mayor. No other documents in this review corroborate that spelling independently.

Contracts, payments, engineering specifications and post-inauguration performance are the measures that would show what the 12 roads, the Industrial Road, and the promised Daalo and Fagah works have actually delivered. The 17 September report provides none of those documents, and no verified update on progress since that date has been identified.
