Somalia’s Banadir State government on Tuesday unveiled plans to renovate one of East Africa’s largest open air markets after two decades of closure.

Mohamed Yusuf Osman, Spokesman of Banadir government, told local media in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, that plans to rebuild the Hamarweyne Market were well underway.

Mr. Osman further revealed that a lottery for the allotment of some thousands of plots has been postponed until the 25th of this month. He urged applications to bring their documents with them on next Thursday when the lottery will be drawn in City Plaza Hotel. He blamed the delay on technical issues but promised to resolve it.

All applications are believed to have deposited undisclosed amount of money in the prime location.

The market was constructed by Somalia’s last central government under General Mohamed Siad Barre in 1981 and was one of the largest open air markets in East Africa.

Once reopened the market will be able to supply goods to as far as landlocked Burundi and Rwanda.

There were people who owned boosas at this market before the fire, are they going to get it back?

You have to pay 2000 US Dollars deposit to get into the lottery and if you don't win, the money is refunded. My mother already is already in the lottery and inshallah gets a boos.

Impossible! the $2000 is to acquire 1 of the 1000s retail spaces, there is no money required to get in on the lottery.

Basically if you pay the 2 gs you are guaranteed a spot, the downside to this is that you don't know which retail space you will get, i.e upstairs, downstairs etc. That's where the lottery comes in, the draw will determine which space you will end up in.

Most ppl want to be located downstairs as it will generate more traffic as oppose to upstairs. Location is key here as in any business.

4 of my family members already acquired 6 spaces by simply forking over 2 gs and right now they are waiting for the lottery to be drawn.
