Moving the capital of Somalia

Post by Polus »

After the birth of Turkey & end of Ottoman empire, Turks moved their capital from Istanbul to Ankara. When the Ethiopian monarchy expanded its empire it & Menelik II became emperor he founded Addis Ababa & built a capital from scratch.

Basically nations & peoples have continusly had a new "center" when they go through significant far reaching political transformations.

Somalia is today a federal republic, despite many favoring the old unitary system we can just say "it is what it is". Mogadishu is the capital of Somalia today.

Should we abolish Mogadishu as the capital of our country, and rather make it our Economic capital as Istanbul is to Turkey?

If so, any proposal for a replacement location?

The capital will always be Mogadishu.

It would cost too much money/time to re-build the infrastructure in Mogadishu in another city.

What infrastructure in Mogaaishu? the place is utterly destroyed, by the uncivilised Hutus.
