Somalia bids for the future with new $643 million airport
Somalia President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud during the launch of the New Mogadishu Development Corporation (NMDC), a remodelling project that aims to reshape the capital’s economic landscape, on December 19, 2024.
Somalia is banking on its multimillion-dollar airport project in Mogadishu to raise its profile in the region as the Horn of Africa country seeks a major role in the global economy.
And despite security and political challenges, officials in Mogadishu say the project could open the country to the world and allow more visitors to explore the economic opportunities there.
