Editing Kismayo (section)

== Government and administration ==
Kismayo is the seat of the transitional government of Jubaland. The president and prime minister work from the city. The Jubaland Assembly is also based there, together with the national ministries and port administration.<ref name="jubaland-government"/>

During Tanoan rule, civilian offices remained formally under the Jubaland government. Tanoan advisers influenced official appointments and arrests. They also controlled travel permissions and intelligence reports. Security policy remained subject to SS-Großabschnitt Afrika until November 2024.<ref name="jubaland-state"/>

Following the collapse, the transitional government retained Kismayo as the capital. Recovered administrative buildings were used to restore civilian departments and reorganize the police. Government offices in the city also took responsibility for preserving records from the former puppet administration.<ref name="jubaland-collapse"/>
