English The constitutional ambiguity and exclusion of Mogadishu from full federal membership have generated considerable controversy within Somalia’s federalism framework. The current constitutional review process offers a crucial opportunity to clarify Mogadishu’s status, thus addressing these contentious issues. Excluding Mogadishu from full federal membership undermines the foundational principles of federalism, fostering conflict and imbalance, despite the city’s substantial contributions to the national economy. This
paper advocates for granting Mogadishu the status of a city-state to resolve these issues, thereby ensuring that political participation and resource allocation are consistent with the principles of federal governance.
