Mogadishu Rotana

Xamar is booming, brother! I was in the Suuq Bacaad area earlier today, and the construction is on another level. Dabaqs are rising everywhere, and the roads are packed with concrete mixers—at times, it feels like they outnumber the Bajaajs!


Meanwhile, the south side of Xamar is a whole different story. Empty lots are a rare sight, and when you come across one, they all have signs that say, 'This land is not for sale—please stop calling!'"


This rapid boom isn’t happening by chance—several key factors are driving Xamar’s transformation.


First, security has significantly improved under President HSM, making the city safer and more attractive for investment. Under the previous administration of Farmaajo, many people in Xamar didn’t feel safe. Crime was rampant, ciyaal weero roamed freely, and security in general and at checkpoints was weak, with inspections often being careless.


Now, things have changed. HSM introduced performance-based bonuses for NISA and police officers, rewarding them for catching criminals, which has boosted morale and motivation. He also equipped checkpoint officers with government-issued tablets, allowing them to match vehicle and driver identification with a centralized system. Any discrepancies are immediately flagged and not tolerated, leading to tighter security and a safer city.


Additionally, HSM’s administration has cracked down on the illegal Shabaab tax, lifting a major financial burden off businesses and property owners and saving millions of dollars for reinvestment in Xamar.


Another game-changer is the rise of banks in Xamar, with more financial institutions competing and offering affordable loans, making it easier for people to invest in real estate and construction. All of this is fueling the non-stop development we’re seeing today."
