Sana’a (HOL) — The Somali Embassy in Yemen has resumed issuing passports after an eight-year suspension, addressing long-standing demands from Somali citizens living in the country who have struggled to obtain official travel documents.

Mogadishu (HOL) — Somali government has announced the reopening of more than 50 roads in the capital, Mogadishu, which had been closed for years due to security concerns. According to a statement from the Federal Government on Saturday, the decision follows a comprehensive security assessment and aims to ease severe traffic congestion and improve the daily lives of residents. The government emphasized that the move seeks to strike a balance between maintaining public safety and restoring the free movement of people and goods across the city. For years, the closure of key routes—particularly those near government buildings and diplomatic missions—has hampered urban mobility, restricting access to schools, hospitals, markets, and businesses. Authorities said the reopening of these roads is expected to ease traffic flow, boost local economic activity, and help restore a sense of normalcy to city life. The government also urged the public to cooperate with security forces to ensure the process is carried out safely and efficiently.

Mogadishu (HOL) — Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has defended the ongoing demolitions, asserting that the Banadir Regional Administration is legally responsible for managing land in the capital. Speaking at the Presidential Mosque after Friday prayers, President Mohamud dismissed opposition claims that the federal government is forcibly displacing residents, stating that all land-related matters fall under the jurisdiction of the Banadir Regional Administration. “Mogadishu will no longer be a cramped city where Al-Shabaab can hide, bodies cannot be taken for burial, or fire trucks cannot pass through,” President Hassan Sheikh said, emphasizing that the measures aim to improve security, order, and infrastructure in the city. The president acknowledged that some demolitions and relocations have affected residents but described them as necessary for Mogadishu’s long-term safety and development. He added that citizens who possess valid ownership documents have the right to defend their property claims through the courts. In recent months, federal government forces have demolished homes and displaced families in several parts of Mogadishu, including the Dab Damiska (Fire Brigade) area of the Wadajir district. Earlier this year, a government decision to relocate a cemetery in Mogadishu to make way for a new Somali Navy base sparked public outrage, with families asked to exhume the remains of their relatives. Opposition figures, including former President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, have criticized the government’s approach, accusing it of corruption and mismanagement. They argue that these practices undermine public trust and call for greater transparency and accountability in the management of public lands and resources.
