Mogadishu, Somalia – From May 24 to 30, 2025, United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), with support from ALIPH, conducted a technical assessment of key historic sites in Somalia’s capital, including the Lido Secondo Lighthouse and the Old Mogadishu district.
The expert review focused on evaluating recent structural damage and identifying culturally significant elements vital to shaping future restoration plans.
