Great news, runtii. Both my sister and brother-in-law are administrators there.

 

I was there in 2003, when they were building one large campus located outskirts of Xamar.

 

 

This corridor was only darbi iyo shub taag taagan when I visited on that day. It was also where we were, showing this American guy around, when the guards of constructed building and the guardian staff who came with us collided, with tensions and heated arguments immediately apparent. It was a daymare on that day. How easily some gun-toting maryooleey like to have a little action with no reason. They have no respect to those who hired them and are still supposedly their employers.

That doesn't surprise me. Mogadishu University is the most advanced higher educational institution in the Horn of Africa with the exception of the University of Addis Abeba. Quite impressive for a school in a chaotic and anarchic setting. The Managers of MU must have done some serious networking and lobbying to keep this school afloat for the students in dalka hooyo.

 

As always South Africa dominates the top rankings. :rolleyes:

[Sharmarkee]

Salaam,

 

splendid ,lemme tell ya right now,That's something to be proud of.

 

Postive commitment = positive results

 

Surely there are Unsung Heroes behind the scene, Congra, Congra, You cannot believe how deep negative attitudes of that broken country "somalia" is at the moment consuming and Psychologically affecting our kid's outlook in life! I mean those in diaspora - as peer pressure level, "it's distrubing" so let us see a positive things coming out of the country other than WarLord Fulaan and WarLord Cilaan.

 

Mahad Ilaahayba iska leh

[NGONGE]

Ain Shams at number 100? :eek:

HELWAN UNIVERSITY at 87?

 

Both these, in their time, were centres of excellence in the Arab world. Wonder what happened to put them down that far in the list!

 

It’s also quiet amazing that the University of Mogadishu would outdo many other African Universities when one considers the criteria being used to decide the rankings! Very impressive indeed!

[Gabbal]

Ina Sheekh Abukar has done well walle! We need more success stories like this emerging from the capital.

[Faarax-Brawn]

I was supposed to have attended Whitewaterstrand univ in S.Africa. Great school.

 

Lets receive this news with applause,but leash the celebratory patriotism to a sane a level,shall we?

 

The univ of Mogadishu is a new and privately owned institution. Therefore it has modern ammenities that are lacking in many old African universties.[Run by states that are corrupt mind you].

 

Also Pilfering of funds by corrupt civil servants , gross mismanagement , negelecting infrastracture among many factors, lead to the deteriorating state of many great African Universities.

[Abdulladiif Al-Fiqih]

Ali Dheere is a cousin to that well-known somali lawyer in Kenya-Ahmednassir Abdullahi.

 

He teaches one of those kenya Univesities, has law firm, Chairperson - Law Society of Kenya (Mar 2003 - ) Chairperson - Kenya Anti-Corruption Advisory Board(I'm so glad that he resigned from this position after he clashed with the president). I should be proud of this young somali fella *Tough dude, you should have seen him on Cross-fire discussion*

Top 80 is very impressive especially when nearly 30 universities ranked above it are from South Africa.

Mogadishu University makes us all proud, proud to be Somali citizens.

"World Universities' ranking on the Web" ... the key word is "WEB". Nothing about academics.

 

Pay attention boys.

 

This ranking is just based on the universities' "web presence" only.

 

This is how they calculated the rank based on the University's website.

 

Size

 

Number of pages is calculated using four engines: Google, Yahoo, MSN y Teoma. For each engine, results are normalised to 1 for the highest value. Then for each domain, maximum and minimum results are excluded and every institution is assigned a rank according to the combined sum.

 

Visibility

 

The total number of unique external links received (inlinks) by a site can be only confidently obtained from Yahoo and MSN only. For each engine, results are normalised to 1 for the highest value and then combined to generate the rank.

 

Rich Files

 

After evaluation the “academic†relevance and the volume of different file formats we considering for our purposes the following 'rich files':

 

 

RANK = 2 * Ranking(Size) + 4 * Ranking(Visibility) + 1 * Ranking(Rich Files)

 

 

MOGADISHU did very well to be on that spot considering the situation in our country.

[Yoonis_Cadue]

Moqadisho University is ranked 221st out of of a little more 300 Universites in Africa.

 

In East Africa they're currenlty ranked 7th.

 

Nevertheless they are good results as Moqadisho leads 33 East African Uni's who are ranked behind the University of Moqadisho.
