Kismayo University

About Kismayo University

According to Wikipedia, Kismayo University is a private university located in Kismayo, Somalia's third largest city. Background Since the collapse of the Somali central government in 1991, all the educational institutions and other public properties were destroyed. This has caused a mass migration of Somali intellectuals from the country. Years later, some of the Somali intellectuals recognized the need of primary and secondary education. Consequently, non-profit making organizations have been established to meet the educational needs of those who graduated from local schools in the war torn country. In responding to the mentioned situations, Kismayo University was founded in the coastal City of Kismayo to be the first university ever established in the Jubaland region of Somalia.
