MOGADISHU, SOMALIA — A deepening humanitarian crisis is unfolding in Mogadishu as reports emerge of mass forced evictions, large-scale demolitions of civilian homes, and controversial land transfers allegedly benefiting powerful business and political networks. According to local residents, activists, and humanitarian observers, an estimated 260,000 families have been displaced across different districts of the Banaadir region in recent years. Thousands of homes have reportedly been bulldozed, leaving vulnerable civilians — including women, children, and elderly people — exposed to heavy seasonal rains, poverty, and worsening humanitarian conditions.
