This account of Mogadishu has nothing to say about 45 years of its history, from 1945 to 1990. A gaping hole, to say the least! Rick Davies
The picture named "Mogadishu_rebuilding..jpg" is not a picutre of Mogadishu as mogadishu does not have a mountains and hills, its situated in a flat land. and i am 100% sure this picture does not even belong to any Somali city or town. maxman ( talk) 15:12, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Quelle hypocrisie de la part des USA, des Nations Unis, de l'Italie et des Russes, un jour le père Aidid est l'énnemi public numèro 1 comme Ben Laden d'ailleurs, pour ensuite vouloir capturer Mohammed Aidid avec une prime de 25.000$ sur sa tête.
Une quête ayant couté la vie à 18 braves soldats ayant combattu pour une juste cause de par l'opération restaure hope, innocents en ayant été victime d'un gouvernement Américain de pervers, de menteurs, de singes et de guenons qui cache la vérité, celle qui nuit a leurs intérêts communs, pour un peuple Somalien qui fût réduit a la famine par la volonté d'un warlord Mohammed Aidid, un warlord faisant régner sa petite terreure sur le peuple somalien d'en bas, qui ayant fait toutes ses études en occident "Italie l'ancien colonisateur" afin de renverser un marxiste leniniste de Barre ayant manipulé et instrumentalisé l'Islam pour un vil profit matérielle terrestre éphémère, et pour son bien être individuel, pour qu'ensuite les US fasse venir le fils Aidid a l'age de 16 ans au pays des kouffars "aux Etats Unis pour lui montrer ce qu'est la face visible de la grandeur d'un pays, mais ayant oublié de lui montrer la face caché de la grandeur des Etats Unis, celle que l'occident ne veut pas montrer, mais attention on ne fait pas venir au pays de l'oncle sam n'importe quel filston ! non ! plutot le fils Aidid et certainement pas un fils de Somalie qui fût victime de la famine du père Aidid, et dont le père, un jour de Mars 1992 était l'énnemi public numéro 1 des US et de l'UN en Somalie après l'avoir manipulé contre un tyran marxiste leniniste Barre" pour qu'ensuite on place le fils Aidid sur le trône de Somalie, et dont le père fût coupable de crime de guerre et de génocide contre l'humanité toute entière par le biais de "la FAMINE DU PEUPLE SOMALIEN" pour qu'ensuite dans leur plans machiavélique en tout genre on vienne placer sur le trone de la somalie le Fils Aidid, au sevice des Etats Unis par l'intermédiaire de son service qu'il effectua au service des Marines, d'ailleurs ne le dit-il pas lui même : "Once a marine, always a marine" un jour un marine toujours un marine, mais le plus triste dans l'histoire c'est tel un fils trahissant le père, pour des Etats Unis qui après avoir combattu et recherché le père Aidid a Mogadishu en 1992 et tout en ayant plaçé sur sa tête, une prime de 25000$ après l'avoir manipulé contre les tyrans du marxiste leninisme de l'Union Soviétique.
Vraiment, l'amérique et les Nations Unis, votre fin approche a grands pas, non pas, pour votre impérialisme commercial sur toute la surface de la terre, mais pour vos manipulations et instrumentalisations en tout genre de l'unique religion agréée par l'éternel : L'Islam (La paix) car avec l'Islam on doit faire la paix et non pas la guerre, car lorque l'on brandit le glaive c'est pour une bonne cause defendre le faible contre le tyran, contre le puissant, nourrir un orphelin, érradiquer la famine, mais quand on manipule l'Islam pour un vil profit on brandit le glaive a son propre détriment.
Ceci, l'heure arrive, celle des réglements de compte devant l'éternel, surtout, pour vos manipulations en tout genre sur toute la surface de la terre, car si vous saviez de sources certaines que la fin de VOTRE NOUVEL ORDRE MONDIAL arrive a grands pas ! pour celui d'un nouvel ordre mondial DIVIN, qui lui sera sans associé(es) dans la destiné de toute l'humanité !

Automated English Translation from Babelfish follows - La traduction en anglais automatisée de Babelfish suit
Which hypocrisy on behalf of the USA, of the Nations Linked, Italy and the Russians, one day the Aidid father is the public enemy besides number 1 like Bin Laden, for then wanting to capture Mohammed Aidid with a premium of 25.000$ on its head.
A search having cost the life 18 brave men soldiers having fought for a right cause from the operation restores hope, innocent while having been victim of an US government of pervert, liars, monkeys and guenons which hiding place the truth, that which harms has their shared interests, for Somali people which was tiny room to the famine by the will of a warlord Mohammed Aidid, a warlord making reign its small terreure on the Somali people of in bottom, which having made all to its studies in occident “Italy the former colonizer” in order to reverse a Leninist Marxist of Bar having handled and having instrumentalisé Islam for a cheap profit material terrestrial transitory, and for its good individual being, so that then the US ones make come the Aidid son to old 16 years to the country from the kouffars “to the United States to show him what is the visible face of the size of a country, but having forgotten to show him the face hidden of the size of the United States, that which the occident does not want to show, but attention one does not make come to the country from the Uncle Sam any filston! not! rather son Aidid and certainly not son of Somalia which was victim of the famine of the Aidid father, and of which father, one day of Mars 1992 was public enemy number 1 of US and of ONE in Somalia after it to have handled against tyrant Marxist Leninist Bars” so that then one places son Aidid on throne of Somalia, and whose father was guilty of genocide and war crime against very whole humanity by the means of “the FAMINE OF the SOMALI PEOPLE” so that then in their plans machiavelic in any kind one comes to place on the throne of Somalia the Aidid Son, to the maltreatment of the United States via its service which it carried out with the service of the Navy, moreover does not even say it he him: “Ounce has marine, always always has marine” one day a navy a navy, but saddest in the history it is a such son betraying the father, for of the United States which after having fought and having sought the Aidid father has Mogadishu in 1992 and while having place on its head, a premium of 25000$ after having handled it against the tyrants of the Marxist Leninism of the Soviet Union.
Really, America and the Nations Linked, your fine approaches has great steps, not, for your commercial imperialism on all the surface of the ground, but for your handling and instrumentalisations in any kind of the single religion approved by the eternal: Islam (peace) because with Islam one must make peace and not the war, because lorque one holds up the sword is for a good cause to defend the weak one against the tyrant, against the powerful one, to nourish an orphan, érradiquer the famine, but when one handles Islam for a cheap profit one holds up the sword has his own detriment.
This, the hour arrives, that of the settlings of score in front of the eternal, especially, for your handling in any kind on all the surface of the ground, because if you knew unquestionable sources that the end of YOUR NEW WORLD KIND arrives great steps have! for that of a new DIVINE world order, which without associated (be) in will be intended to him with all humanity!
When has those and has those which are not in Islam “in Peace” return there because it is time! for your safety! because the fine one approaches! Internet site: http://www.islam-2012-newworldorder.com

can't see why this is in any way significant for the English language Wikipedia. -- Robert Merkel 13:26, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)
It was an Italian colony, and Mogadiscio was what the city was called during that period. Rick Davies
Because of the current status of Somalia it is probably improper to characterize Mogadishu as a national capital. Taking the term Somalia to be a region, one could say "Mogadishu is the largest city in Somalia," but IMO there is no reason to say "Mogadishu is the capital of Somalia" when the provisional government is nothing more than provisional. -- Alexwcovington ( talk) 17:18, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
And when Somaliland, in the NW has been functionally independent since the early 90's with their own capital, Hargeysa. Rick Davies
It might make sense then to simply explain that while Mogadishu is the official capital of the provisional government, Somaliland has been functionally independent since the early 1990s. L Hamm 17:38, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
It should probably say Mogadishu is the de jure capital, recognized by the United Nations or something like that.

Am I the only one who thinks it's unfortunate that the one photo chosen for this article is of the Black Hawk helicopter? I suspect that while this describes what Mogadishu brings to mind for an American, other images would be more relevant to the residents of the city. A public square or market, perhaps?

The subheader "Anarchy and the Americans", due to its placing between the "historic" and "today" section, makes it very hard to add an event that IMHO belongs here. I don't know how strong the connection is in England or the US, but in Germany the first association with the word "Mogadishu" is the liberation of the Landshut hostages, mentioned in various other Wikipedia articles.
Suggestion:
"1977 the German anti-terror unit GSG 9 liberated the hijacked Lufthansa airliner Landshut on the city airport. (See Red Army Faction or German Autumn for details.)"
Removed this claim:
, another version claims that it is a Somali version of the Swahili "mwyu ma" (last northern city)
That doesn't look like any kind of Swahili to me, and it's not the Swahili for 'last' or 'north' or 'city' (mji).
Who supplies arms to the Islamic Court Union? I read in the Islamic Court Union article that Ethiopia does. However, in this article, Eritrea is the supplier. Who's the real supplier? Wai Hong 05:34, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
How about a link to a source, referencing the additional three downed helicopters? I've only ever heard about the two that went down in the city. Thanks!
Is anyone else interested in putting together an up-to-date map of Mogadishu? I've been frustrated by the lack of information forthcoming from the media about the exact locations of the warlords, the Islamic courts, the provisional government etc. I'm also thinking of creating a larger map of Somalia, showing current and recent positions of the various warlords, the Islamic courts and Ethiopian incursions. Anyone? Polocrunch 18:18, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Mogadishu became Italian after the treaty of March 24, 1891. The Italian emissary who signed the treaty was Vincenzo Filonardi.

The article gives the English pronunciation as moʊgəˈdɪʃuː. That seems to start as the three men went to do to the meadow (indeed how that word ends) but in my Somali donkey's years I heard from Anglophones nothing but "Mog" to rhyme with "Fog".
What source is there for "moʊgəˈdɪʃuː"?

I haven't removed pending clarification, but the photo with 'rebuilding Mogadishu' is not of Mogadishu but a town in Malaysia. I am 100% sure of this. -- Samantar Abdirisaq ( talk) 00:17, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
unlike stereotyped Germans and other Europeans, Somalis due to their exposure to Arabic (the only education for most children 50 years ago was sitting under a shade tree repeating parrot fashion the sounds the teacher read from the Quranic extracts written on a board) have no trouble with "th". That contrasts strong with the difficulty they have in distinguishing between "b" and "p" and between "f" and "v", the second of both those pairs does not occur in Arabic. Challenged postings in WP need proving. Mog is not developing in the sense of being rebuilt. It is an utter wreck. The only hills there are the built over old naturally stabilised sand dunes say a hallf to ome km from the coast.-- SilasW ( talk) 12:04, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
User:Middayexpress may compare the following (from the History of Mogadishu article) before reverting again:
RandomCritic ( talk) 14:43, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
You could easily have checked to see if I'd written that passage. Of course, I didn't.
Anyway:
"The major Swahili city-states were Mogadishu, Barawa, Mombasa (Kenya), Gedi, Pate, Malindi, Zanzibar, Kilwa, and Sofala in the far south." [2]
"Swahili Society, c. 11th-15th Centuries C.E. This was another Bantu society like the others we have been reviewing, but it was one of city-states situated along the East African coast from Mogadishu to Kilwa and Sofala." [3]
"In its prime Lamu was one of a string of ports that stretched along the East African coast from Mogadishu to present-day Mozambique .... The Swahili city-states flourished between the 12th and 18th centuries, when ships from Arabia, India, and even China called at their ports to carry away the goods that made the Swahili rich" [4]
"There were 8 major Swahili city-states (Mogadishu, Barawaa, Mombasa, Gedi, Pate, Malindi, Zanzibar, Kilwa, and Sofala) all were politically independent of one another." [5]
"Some of the wealthy and influential Swahili city-states included Mogadishu in the north, Kilwa, and Zanzibar in the South." [6]
"Historic Swahili city states include Kilwa Kisiwani, Lamu, Mogadishu, Mombasa, Sofala, Zanzibar." [7]
"Swahili civilization represented a blending of African culture with foreign, especially Arab, elements, and was urban, mercantile, maritime, literate, and Islamic in nature. It stretched down the Indian Ocean coast of Africa from Mogadishu in modern Somalia to south of the Zambezi River in modern Mozambique, with offshore centres including Zanzibar, Pemba, and the Comoros." [8]
"Eventually the Swahili settlements stretched along the East African coast from Mogadishu in Somalia to Madagascar and Mozambique." [9]
If characterizing Mogadishu as a "Swahili city-state" is an error, it appears to be an unusually common one. I'll take it that I've sourced the characterization for Mogadishu and Barawa, and I'll reinstate the category until you can get back with your sources to the contrary. RandomCritic ( talk) 02:13, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
"Excepting the offshore islands, the coastal division is in broad agreement with the geographical description of the East African coast provided by al-Idrisi (mid-twelfth century), with 'Barbar' north of Mogadishu", and already decribed, 'Zanj', south of Mogadishu to Pemba island, and 'Sofala', the source of gold, south of this."
Middayexpress ( talk) 03:15, 16 December 2008 (UTC)"Kilwa, we may note, was visited by Ibn Battuta in the 1330s, and described by that time as having surpassed Mombasa as the dominant center of the Bilad al Zanj (as the Swahili coast was known to the Arabs). However, by the late fifteenth century, sharp trading and political rivalries of some importance existed between these centres; if, in the Somali coast (Arabic, Bilad al Barbar) to the north, Muqdisho (Mogadishu) preserved its pre-eminence, the dominant position of Kilwa further south was under challenge by both Mombasa, and the ruling family at Zanzibar."
"Among the Swahili city-states, a new balance of power took hold. Manda and Shanga declined greatly in importance after 1100, both eventually being abandoned. Two other city-states, Muqdisho on the Somali coast and Kilwa, located on an island along the southern Tanzania coast, gradually became the new leading city-states." [10]
So apparently for this author there's no contradiction between being a "Swahili city-state" and being (geographically) on the Somali coast. Nor would one expect there to be.
"The Swahili states were located along the coast. They were all trading cities. Kilwa, Mogadishu, Sofala and Mombasa were some of the leading Swahili cities." [11]
"The [Swahili] language was the basis for a culture, and both were built around small towns along the ocean, running about 2,000 miles from Mogadiscio in the north (in today's Somalia) to Sofala in the south (in today's Mozambique). Most of the towns were autonomous. We can call them city-states..." [12]
Obviously, a user can impugn the authority of these (obviously not "self-published") sources as well, but the point remains: whether one user agrees or disagrees with the category is irrelevant: the point is that the category exists, and happens to be a very useful one for uniting various articles relevant to East African history. I gather that the user objects to the term "Swahili", but that's not the point (it just happens to be the most common term used to describe this group of city-states, as I have abundantly shown). What's important is that there be a category which preserves the cultural links shared by these city-states, a link which lasted right down to the scramble for Africa in the 1880s. It's not good history to pretend that modern boundaries have always existed as they do today. RandomCritic ( talk) 04:52, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
Then I set off by sea... for the land of the Swahili and the town of Kilwa, which is in the land of Zanj.
The category is not "City-states of the Bilad az Zanj". The category is Swahili city-states. The arbitrary geographical divisions of Arab observers are not particularly relevant to a social, cultural, and historical categorization. Anyway the bottom line is this: you have utterly failed to produce sources which show that Mogadishu was not a "Swahili city-state". I have produced many to show that it is categorized as such. Hence, the category stays.
Here is yet another:
"The larger towns of present day Somalia -- Mogadishu, Merca, Barawa, Kismayu -- were Swahili towns until quite recently (the inhabitants of Barawa still speak a Swahili dialect)" [13]
The authors go on to say "The geography broadly corresponds to that found in the medieval Arab geographies. Here the coast is divided up into Berbera, Bilad az-Zanj and the Bilad Sufala, but these terms were not used with either precision or consistency, making it very difficult to tie down places mentioned in the Arabic documents.
So the Arabs divided the East African coast into three imprecise and overlapping regions. But within all of these three regions, Swahili city-states were to be found -- even when the hinterland included people of a different language and culture. The purpose of the category is not to represent medieval Arabic notions of geography. The purpose is to allow easy access by researchers using Wikipedia to information about culturally related areas. RandomCritic ( talk) 16:53, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
"The Bilad al Zanj would seem to cover the Swahili coast from Visiwani to Ngao, while Berbara represents the Benadir, and Sufala the Kerimba coast and beyond".
"Kilwa, we may note, was visited by Ibn Battuta in the 1330s, and described by that time as having surpassed Mombasa as the dominant center of the Bilad al Zanj (as the Swahili coast was known to the Arabs). However, by the late fifteenth century, sharp trading and political rivalries of some importance existed between these centres; if, in the Somali coast (Arabic, Bilad al Barbar) to the north, Muqdisho (Mogadishu) preserved its pre-eminence, the dominant position of Kilwa further south was under challenge by both Mombasa, and the ruling family at Zanzibar."
"As to the occupants of these settlements, Ibn Battuta noted that the ruler of Mogadishu was from Berbera and his speech was not Arabic or Persian, but Mogadishu, while the occupants of Mombasa and Kilwa, he noted were Zanj, extremely black, with cuttings in their faces..."
"Kilwa, we may note, was visited by Ibn Battuta in the 1330s, and described by that time as having surpassed Mombasa as the dominant center of the Bilad al Zanj (as the Swahili coast was known to the Arabs).
However, by the late fifteenth century, sharp trading and political rivalries of some importance existed between these centres; if, in the Somali coast (Arabic, Bilad al Barbar) to the north, Muqdisho (Mogadishu) preserved its pre-eminence, the dominant position of Kilwa further south was under challenge by both Mombasa, and the ruling family at Zanzibar."
Then I set off by sea... for the land of the Swahili and the town of Kilwa, which is in the land of Zanj.
is there still a dispute here? Geoff Plourde ( talk) 05:39, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
I will try to help you guys out. Bear with me, as I am not an expert in East Africa. Now as I see it, the question of whether or not to include a mention of Mogadishu being a city state was concluded with a Source A says this and Source B says this format?

A recent edit was to replace "colonization" by "rule" but the it.regime was a colonization. it.WP contains, about Somalia, "all'epoca colonia italiana" (~"in the time of the Italian colony").

This has been deleted, correctly, and re-instated (wrongly) several times. Somali articles seem prone to getting glory for this or that thrown into and taken out of them repeatedly.That's why I left an earlier reversion of my deleting it stand, I gave up correcting it and let the nonsense reflect (perhaps unfairly) on the rest of the article. Earlier paragraphs in this Talk say the picture is not of MGQ.
The green steep unbuilt-on hills are not MGQ, they resemble something in Malaysia. The style of building is not MGQ's. There is no such rebuilding. Look at Google Earth's fine view of MGQ and note the present widespread utter rooflessness. Then compare it with a town in Malaysia.-- SilasW ( talk) 20:57, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
In the edits we have multiple users removing and replacing the population based upon a website stating the 2 million mark of the 1980's, hardly contemporary information. The Guardian states that 600,000 people, more than half the population, have fled in their article [14] in December 2007. Until a more contemporary population can be found, from a more reputable site I might add (bearing in mind the email address for the UN representative is from hotmail), I recommend this should remain either unknown or blank!

I would like to know why the following was considered a "fringe theory", and thus removed?
"Though it can equally be contested that it is a Somali mispronunciation of the Swahili "mwyu wa" (last northern city), justifying the possibility of its being the northernmost of the chain of Swahili city-states on the East African coast."
The current justification for "Seat of the Shah" has only 1 citation as a reference point as such I find it contentious to say that it is the only plausible, *widely accepted* and correct explanation. As I have referenced the origin of my input as a US publication it is by no means inaccessible unlike the original "seat of the shah" quote and is penned by a recognised authority. Furthermore, my citation upholds the seat of the shah etymology whilst furthering possibilities!
I'd also like to point out that the above source is 6 years younger than the original...

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is documented as being born in Mogadishu. And any notable person whether ethnic Somali or not, or a Somali citizen or not, can be put in the "Notable Mogadishans" section.
User:Middayexpress's empty argument is, that she is "Not notable in a Somali context & renounced her Somali citizenship", and uses as an excuse to erase this person from the section. This user has done this many times when Ayaan Hirsi Ali was added. If lack of Somali citizenship is a criterion, than for example another personality born in Mogadishu, Alexander, Count of Schönburg-Glauchau, who never was a Somali citizen and whose "notability" in Somalia is even less, should be also ommitted. There must be no double standard.
I suspect that User:Middayexpress personally dislikes this pesronality for her controversial views. He is abusing his position and imposes his point of view, on a baseless argument. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.99.66.164 ( talk) 21:36, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
