On 9 July 2025, Mustaqbal Media reported that the Mayor of Banaadir Region and Governor of Mogadishu, Dr. Hassan Mohamed Hussein (Muungaab), officially inaugurated the construction of the 26th June Road, linking Shaqaalaha Junction and Sheekh Ali Suufi in the Hodan District.

The report attributed the trigger for the works to significant damage sustained by the area due to recent heavy rains in the city. It did not give the extent, date or cost of that damage.

## Funding statement

At the ceremony, the Mayor announced that funding for the road project will be sourced from the Banaadir Regional Fund, according to Mustaqbal Media. The Mayor stated that this funding is a result of administrative and financial reforms that have successfully increased the region's revenue, enabling critical infrastructure projects to move forward, the report said. He also pledged that tax revenues collected from the capital's residents will be directed towards implementing various development projects.

Those statements are the Mayor's as reported by Mustaqbal Media. The report does not give an amount, budget line or disbursement evidence for the Banaadir Regional Fund or the revenue reforms cited.

## Attendance and contractor

Mustaqbal Media reported that community elders and representatives from Docol Construction Company, described as responsible for executing the project, attended the groundbreaking ceremony. Also named in the report were Deputy Governor for Security and Politics Mr. Mohamed Ahmed Diriye (Yabooh), Deputy Governor for Public Works Mr. Hassan Mohamed Jimale, and Hodan District Mayor Mr. Ali Fahle. The report does not record a contract signing, award value or procurement details for Docol Construction Company, and no contract terms can be confirmed from it.

The report said the road construction is part of a larger initiative to enhance infrastructure in Mogadishu, aiming to improve connectivity and support economic growth. The initiative itself is not documented or named.

## What the report does not establish

Mustaqbal Media's 9 July 2025 article does not state a project cost, contract value, road length, lane count, specification, contractor fee or completion date. It records an inauguration ceremony, not the start, progress or completion of physical works.

The report also does not establish what has happened since the ceremony: whether construction work has started, progressed, been completed or stalled. It gives no construction timeline and no follow-up on the Banaadir Regional Fund or the tax revenue pledge. For now, the factual record rests on a single dated report of an official launch.
