This 'new' church is in fact an old church that is being reopened by the very small Christian community (mostly made up of foreigners).
The SL govt isn't paying a penny/cent for the refurbishment.
In addition, the church's congregation is made up of NGO's:
Around 10 Christians have been attending Mass in the small church, something Bishop Bertin describes as very significant for the Catholic Church in Somalia. The congregation is largely foreign, composed of workers for the UN or the other humanitarian agencies that have bases in Hargeisa.
