Ilwad waxay dooratay inay ku noqoto Muqdisho si ay shaqadan u qabato. Doorashadaas ayaa wax walba kuu sheegaysa.
Waxaa Muqdisho ka aasaasay sannadkii 1990 Elman Ali Ahmed, oo ahaa u ololeeye nabadeed, kaas oo la dilay 1996 geesinimadii uu u muujiyay hub ka dhigista maleeshiyaadka awgeed. Gabdhihiisa ayaa sii waday shaqadiisa. Ilwad Elman waxay ku kortay Kanada, waxayna dooratay inay ku laabato Muqdisho sannadkii 2010, oo ahayd magaalo dagaal ka socdo, si ay u maamusho xarunta. EPHRC waxay wadaa barnaamijkii ugu horreeyay Soomaaliya ee dib-u-dhaqancelinta carruurtii hore askarta u ahaan jiray iyo dagaalyahannadii hubaysnaa: daryeel dhaawac nafsi, taageero maskaxeed, tababar xirfadeed iyo gargaar sharci. Waxay sidoo kale maamushaa hoyaal gabbaad oo loogu talagalay dadka ka badbaaday rabshadaha ku saleysan jinsiga. Ilwad waxaa loo magacaabay Abaalmarinta Nabadda ee Nobel sannadkii 2019. Waddan ay geesinimada muwaadinnimadu tahay kheyraadka ugu naadirsan, Xarunta Elman waa qaabka ugu cufan ee geesinimadaas.
