Daqane Posted January 5, 2013 13 November 2012 Turkish Red Crescent & Istanbul Municipality to reconstruct Mogadishu Red Crescent aid society and the Municipality of Istanbul (IBB) established a construction yard in the Somali (capital) to help reconstruct the city. Turkish Red Crescent and the IBB will work together in the construction of roads and pavements, collection of solid waste, environmental arrangement and the erection of an industrial site. 50 construction machines and trucks from Turkey have been brought to Mogadishu to be used during construction activities. In order for the project to advance, the IBB will send a team of 100 experts to Somalia in the next few days. Speaking to Anadolu Agency (AA), an executive with the IBB, Kamil Kolabas, said that they wanted to turn Mogadishu into a modern and contemporary capital. "The construction yard we will erect will be a site where concrete, paving stones and asphalt would be produced. The construction yard will serve Somalia for a long time. We work to see Mogadishu as one of the modern capitals of Africa," Kolabas stressed. An executive with the Turkish Red Crescent, Mumtaz Simsek, stated that the construction yard provided jobs to 250 people. Once the project has been completed, Mogadishu will become a contemporary city, Simsek also said. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daqane Posted January 5, 2013 Turkey has promised to rebuild the Somali parliament building in the heart of Mogadishu. Turkey’s Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, on a visit to Somalia, assured the work would start soon. “The Turkish Government is going to demolish the old building of the parliament and completely rebuild it,” said Mr Davutoglu, amid cheers from Somali legislators. The minister arrived in Mogadishu and immediately proceeded to the Peoples’ Hall, the building hosting the Somali Federal Parliament, where he joined a session being held by the MPs. Turkish companies are meanwhile set to undertake the rebuilding of the dilapidated infrastructure of the Somali capital city. On Tuesday, Turkish institutions displayed heavy equipments ready to be used for the rebuilding of the infrastructure. A Turkish official stated that heavy equipment was already at the at Mogadishu port, ready for the rehabilitation work. Other Turkish officials at a site in Wadajir district in south Mogadishu announced that a large compound had been identified to hold different fabrication lines for material to be used for the project. “The city of Mogadishu will soon experience a change in its buildings and infrastructure,” a Turkish official at the Wadajir site forecast. In May, the mayor of Mogadishu, Mr Mohamoud Ahmed Nur, met with his counterpart in Istanbul. The two cities have a twinning arrangement and Mogadishu expects to benefit immensely from this relationship. While in Istanbul, Mr Nur welcomed Turkish investment and said one of his priorities was the improvement of sanitation. Source Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daqane Posted January 5, 2013 The scars from the fighting are everywhere. Barely a scrap of wood, concrete or masonry has escaped being scarred by a bullet. Pushing his way through a rusted metal door in a shattered wall, the imam leads the way to a faded plaque with white lettering on a black background dating back to 1033 when the Abdulaziz mosque was built. Abdel Karim was entrusted with “the birthplace of Sufism” in Somalia 15 years ago when his father retired as imam, just as his father had before him. A simple alcove points in the direction of Mecca and contains a copy of the Koran. Abdel Karim sleeps at night on a simple mat, not under a painted fresco or a mosaic of a crescent moon, but under the stars as the roof was smashed by a tank shell. Amid the peeling green walls open to the elements and a floor scattered with rubble, it is hard to imagine that as many as 120 people would crowd in to pray. An imam’s assistant remembers “beautiful things”: cloth from Saudi Arabia and coloured lights, all looted or destroyed. “People would come from very distant areas to pray at the oldest mosque,” recollects Abdel Karim. In a city pulverised by nearly two decades of war, and still recovering from the ravages of last year’s devastating famine, it can be hard to get people to care about the fate of a building. But the Abdulaziz mosque is a reminder of a more tolerant and peaceful Somalia and its power as a symbol has not been lost on all. Just to the north of the mosque is a sign announcing the site for an ambitious new embassy complex for Turkey, the rising power in Somali affairs. About 300 Turks are living and working in Mogadishu. Plans are being finalised with the municipality for 20 miles of new roads, paid for by Ankara. The pace of the intervention has wrong-footed other contributors such as Britain and America, who have paid for the lions’ share of Amisom’s costs but whose staff rarely venture beyond Mogadishu’s “green zone” – a military base in the sand dunes around the airport. On the packed sands of Lido Beach, white faces are greeted with calls of “thank you Turkey”. Conscious of the symbolic importance of the oldest mosque and its Ottoman history, the Turks have sent half a dozen delegations to meet the imam and survey the wreckage. Kani Torun, a diplomat with the Turkish embassy, confirmed that the Turkish religious authority will renovate it. “Preparations are underway and the project will take approximately one year,” he told The Independent.

Daqane Posted January 5, 2013 Ganacsatada iyo Qurbo-joogta Soomaaliyeed oo laga dalbaday inay ka qayb-qaataan dayactirka Tiyaatarka Muqdisho Arbaco, Jannaayo 02, 2013 (HOL) — Maamulka gobolka Banaadir ayaa ka dalbaday ganacsatada Soomaaliyeed ee gudaha ku sugan iyo Qurbo-joogta Soomaalida ah ee dibadaha ku nool inay qayb ka qaataan dib u dhiska golaha murtida iyo madadaalada Muqdisho (National Theater). Guddomiyaha gobolka Banaadir ahna duqa Muqdisho, Maxamuud Axmed Nuur (Tarsan) ayaa sheegay inuu tiyaatarku ka mid yahay xarumaha muhiimka ahaa ee ku burburay dagaalladii dalka ka dhacay labaatankii sano ee lasoo dhaafay. "Tiyaartarka ama golaha murtida iyo madadaaladu wuxuu ka mid yahay goobaha ay dadweynuhu isugu imaan jireen, waxaana dadka Soomaaliyeed qaybahooda kala duwan looga baahan yahay inay qayb ka qaataan dib u dhiskiisa," ayuu yiri Tarsan oo intaas ku daray in sidoo kale dadka Soomaaliyeed looga baahan yahay inay ka qaataan qaybtooda dib u dhiska dalka oo dhan. Golaha Murtida iyo madaddaalada Muqdisho ayaa waxaa dib loo furay bishii Maarso ee sannadkii hore, kaddib 21-sano oo uu xirnaa, iyadoo xafladihii ugu horreeyay oo lagu qabtay uu ka dhacay qarax ay ku dhinteen madaxdii Isboortiga Soomaaliyeed. Qaraxii Ismiidaaminta ahaa ayaa khasaare xooggan u geystay tiyaatarka oo markii hore ahaa mid aad u burbursan, iyadoo hay'adda CRD ay bishii Ogoosto ee lasoo dhaafay ay qaybo ka mid ah tiyaatarka ku sameysay dayactir. Lama oga sida ay jawaab uga bixin doonaan ganacsatada Soomaaliyeed ee gudaha iyo qurbo-joogta dalabka ka yimid maamulka gobolka Banaadir ee ku saabsan ka qayb-qaadashada dayactirka golaha murtida iyo madadaalada Qaranka.
