Embassy of the United States, Mogadishu

The United States Embassy in Mogadishu operates from a modern compound on the outskirts of the city, providing diplomatic representation and consular services.

The embassy first opened its doors in 1960 following Somalia's independence, with an earlier consulate-general established in Mogadishu during 1957.

The diplomatic mission facilitates educational exchanges between Somalia and the United States while supporting local development programs in health and infrastructure sectors.

Visitors must schedule appointments through the official embassy website and present valid identification documents for security clearance before accessing consular services.

In January 1991, Operation Eastern Exit conducted an emergency airlift evacuation of diplomats from the embassy during the escalating civil conflict.
