Mogadishu University (MU) was established in 1997 with just six professors and 200 hundred students, in a privately owned house in the Southern part of Mogadishu. However, the flares of the civil war had reached the university site and after a week of its opening, the warring militias looted all its properties including furniture, books, vehicles, and documents resulting in a temporary suspension of all university activities. It was then relocated to the renowned abandoned school building of Mohamud Ahmed Ali. However, another local militia took over the building and looted everything. Subsequently, MU has built a new campus in Yaqshid in assistance with donors and managed to move its new campus in the academic year of 2005/2006.
