This is the second embassy to returns hand of government since 1991.
“It is uninhabitable, so we have to renovate it then we will move in," said Ambassador Mohamud Mohamed Tifow.
A court in Germany has ruled that a former Somali embassy building, sold off after the collapse of the Somali government was illegally sold.
When the government of then President Siad Barre collapsed in 1991, civil strife engulfed the country and all the diplomatic ties with foreign governments ceased.
However, Somalia has been without functional government since the fall of the late Mohamed Siyad Barre.
