The Mayor of Mogadishu, Mohamed Omar Filish participated in a demonstration in support to seek Banadir as regional state other than Somalia’s capital city.

Speaking to the public at the KM4 intersection in Mogadishu, he said that it is unfortunate that this level of representation in Mogadishu has come to light and he expresses his gratitude to the Somali president for a petition in both parliament houses.

“Benadir region deserves greater representation and greater significance given the regional administrations in the country and the people of Mogadishu are grateful to seek the status and representation of the region,” Filish said.

The mayor also describes the matter for unacceptable for Banadir region to be represented under the regional administrations while still Banadir financial income distributed and budgeted to other regional administrations.
