Afgooye General Hospital was a referal hospital for many areas of Shabeelada Hoose communities. Its mordern buildings and facilities now lie in ruins and both domestic animals and their owners now occupy many areas of it. Threes and brush have since grown all over the compound and paperbags, broken furniture and twisted metal are strewn all over. Efforts to rehabilitate these facilities have come to naught because of the reluctance by the occupiers of the city who consider anything and all things that do not either come from them or directly benefit to allow them. This hospital and the community it formerly served have seen better days.

The Shabeelle which originates in the Ethiopian Highlands meanders through the entire territory of central and Southern Somalia. Together with the Jubba River they form the basin that is the bread-basket of Somalia. The two rivers both originate in the Ethiopian Highlands  join near the Southern City of Kismanyu before emptying into the Indian Ocean. It was estimated that with appropriate technoligy and goodwill of the rulers of Somalia this basin would sustain the entire food and water needs of the people of Somalia. Somalia produces the best Bananas in the world and the climate and climatic conditions of the basin between the two rivers is capable of producing the best fruits and horticulture which have ready and untapped markets in Europe and the Middle East.

This Mosque was built with assistance of funds by the Government and people of the Emirate of Kuwait. It has been in a dare state of disreoair for a long time and efforts to repair it has been hampered by the bureaucratic red-tape imposed by the new Rulers of the District.

Approvals can only be obtaied after a certain percentage of the import is skimed away by the warlords controlling all aspects of public life.

Most of the facilities and factories that produced goods for both export and local consumption now are largely ruins and relics of history. many of those state and commercial properties have since been either vandalized beyond repair or put to private use by internally displace people (IDP) and warlords alike.
