On 24 August 2015, Goobjoog News reported that Banadir region officials, including Mogadishu mayor Hassan Hussein Mungaab, had laid the foundation for a new paved tarmac road in Warta-Nabadda district. The event was attended by a high-level government delegation of ministers, district and provincial administration officers, elders and members of the public, according to the same report.

The road is to be funded by the local government of Benadir, Goobjoog News reported. The report does not state a budget figure, a contract value or an implementing agency. The report also does not name a contractor or consultant, and it does not give the road's length, width or surface specifications. No start date or completion date for construction appears in the report.

Mayor Hassan Hussein Mungaab said roads play a major role in security and change the flow of traffic and people, Goobjoog News reported. He also said several other roads are under construction and will soon be launched. That is the mayor's assertion as reported by Goobjoog News; the report does not name those roads, their locations or their status. Goobjoog News also reported that the district is expected to have several other new paved tarmac roads in the coming years, and that the new road is expected to improve the beauty and image of the town as part of ongoing developments in the city.

> **Note:** The report does not establish what has happened to the Warta-Nabadda road since 24 August 2015: whether it was built, remains under construction, was abandoned, or whether the foundation-laying led to actual works.

## What the report does not establish

The 2015-08-24 report records a foundation-laying event and statements by officials. It does not establish that construction started, that any funds were disbursed by the Benadir local government, or that the works advanced. It does not say whether the foundation-laying was followed by paving, drainage or any other physical work. The report does not state when the road was expected to be finished.

No follow-up reporting or independent verification of the road's status appears in the documents reviewed. Whether the Warta-Nabadda road was ever finished, remains under construction, was abandoned, or never advanced past the foundation-laying is not established by the evidence available.
