Word on the street is UNESCO is going to patch up the disco floor in Hotel Uruba. Farmaajo is adamant on preserving/reviving the legacy his adeero left behind.

Unesco is for every cultural or Historical site like those colonial structures built in Eritrea that’s part of Unesco.

There’s forts and remnants in Puntland from the old sultanate of Majerteenia. I think there’s also more in Taleex and Baraawe.

Lol are you joking? All of the Benadir Coast is full of Heritage sites. There are tons of them all over the country, after signing the mou expect them in SL soon too.

I believe they will initially be supporting The National Theatre, Museum and Library that was recently reconstructed.

You’re delusional. Most sites are on the Benadir coast, and there are sites found throughout the country. Not just Laas Geel lol.

Historic visit by Director-General of UNESCO to Somalia to support human dimension of reconstruction through education and culture

11 February 2020

Director-General Audrey Azoulay today carried out a historic visit to Somalia, the first by a Director-General of UNESCO to reestablish the long tradition of cooperation between UNESCO and the country after years of conflict. The Director-General held talks with Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khaire, Minister of Education, Culture and Higher Education, Abdullahi Godah Barre, and Minister of Women and Human Rights Deqa Yasin.

“The human dimension is key to the country's peace-building and reconstruction effort,” declared the Director-General. “Culture and education, are just as important as rebuilding physical infrastructure when it comes to ensuring sustainable peace and development for the people of Somalia in the years to come,” she added.

The Director-General’s visit recognized Somalia’s renewed commitment to multilateralism. This was further evidenced today by the country’s promulgation of UNESCO’s cultural conventions, which took place during the visit of the Director-General. The conventions ratified include the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict, the 1972 World Heritage Convention, and the 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage.

In Mogadishu, the Director-General also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the government of Somalia, paving the way to strengthen multilateral cooperation through education and culture and support the country’s peacebuilding and reconstruction efforts.

This includes enrolling schoolchildren, with a specific focus on young girls, ensuring free and quality primary and secondary education, as well as making available open digital resources, including textbooks.

In culture, the collaboration foresees professional capacity building and training, especially for museum administrators and archivists. UNESCO will also accompany the country in the rehabilitation of three important cultural sites: the National Theatre, Museum and Library, which will further contribute to the peace-building process.

“UNESCO is determined to mobilize the international community in a multilateral drive to support the government’s rehabilitation work through education and culture,” the Director-General declared. UNESCO’s assistance to Somalia will be implemented as part of the United Nations’ wider efforts and within the Somalian National development Plan to contribute to the reconstruction and consolidation of peace in the country.

Kkkk taleex forts and qandala forts. Yaanay dadka kula yaabin. Those forts are cheap yemeni built forts that are all over the country. They have no worth to the outside world. There are only 2 places that can become WH sites. That’s saylac and laas geel. The third is possibly the old city of Mogadishu. Aw barkhadle is buried between hargeisa and berbera that wouldn’t qualify as a WH site.

Doesn’t matter, those forts is still history. The Taleex forts was about the Darwiish as there very significant in our Somali history.

Kkkk you don’t even know a shred of history. Do you think somalis who live in buulo out of nowhere started building little stone forts. If you read a history book a man named Xaji Sudi HJ Aden madoobe the second most wanted man by the British from 1890s till his death at taleex asked ottomans for help to build forts. Ottomans sent yemenis to build them the first was built in a town called xiis.
