Many people criticised the government’s decision to clear the slums in Tarabuunka. Today, the area has clean roads, organised neighbourhoods, and beautiful houses. Sometimes, change is unpopular before its benefits become visible.
Nadia Mohamed, the mayor of St. Louis Park and the first Somali-American elected mayor in the United States, received a warm welcome in Mogadishu. @Nadia_Mohameds

I welcome the IMF Executive Board’s conclusion of the 4th Review of Somalia’s ECF program and the approval of the program’s augmentation — a strong recognition of our continued reform momentum and our commitment to sound economic management.
Somalia remains firmly on track, implementing key reforms that enhance resilience, strengthen governance, and support sustainable economic growth. I am grateful to our partners for their steadfast support as we work toward a more stable and prosperous future for our people.
