ICAO ends its operation to control Somalia's airspace in Nairobi Tuesday June 19, 2018 Last flight over Somali airspace controlled from Nairobi, Kenya The entire process of controlling Somalia’s skies from Nairobi has officially come to an end on Monday after Somalia and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) jointly agreed to close the office in Nairobi. ICAO has been controlling Somalia’s airspace for over 25 years since the fall of the country’s central in 1990. Somalia’s minister of Transport and Civil Aviation, Mohamed Abdullahi Salad said ICAO's office in Nairobi formally stopped its function to control of Somalia’s airspace from Kenya. “Today 18th June 2018, Somalia’s airspace control office in Nairobi which had been operating more than 25 years, will stop its function. All function of airspace control will take place in Mogadishu,” said Salad. The minister said that the move represents a significant step towards the development of the country. "It is a great honor for us to witness this historic day that we are fully moving the control and management of our airspace to the city,” the minister said. In March, Somali government relocated 34 air control personnel who were working in Nairobi to operate in the Somali capital, Mogadishu. The U.N.'s aviation agency began controlling air traffic over Somalia after the county descended into civil war. Due to security concerns, the organization worked from Kenya until 2017 when the government of Somalia took the control of the airspace from ICAO. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations. It codifies the principles and techniques of international air navigation and fosters the planning and development of international air transport to ensure safe and orderly growth. Its headquarters are located in Montreal, Quebec region, Canada.

what happens when you are overrun, and become minority in your country, like Uyghurs!

great news

or just chat, does not look a secure location to discuss wax sir ah.

I think blogger is on something.This has always been the grand plan of Ethiopua.

where is his army? why carry two Ak47?

as long as it protects the First Minister, so be it.

Religion must be parked aside until we understand how much distortion/damage happened, and as it is been used badly by all lunatics,

I think we over obsessed the 4 ports,, there were other points in the agreement that made a lot of sense, and it did not all come into being by just the visit, delegates work and negotiate on these, and leaders just show up and sign. OO, Ethiopia, with road know-how, that is great. I think if Ethiopia wants to be great, they need as many ports as possible and never rely, one group, like Arabs alone, and a great relationship with neighbors, Developing Ethiopia is a great news for SOMALIA as well. It is win-win, as long as there is no backstabbing. Both Ethiopia and Kenya strategy has been in last 30 years to sabotage and keep week SOMALIA, now they have realized, SOMALIA on fire, negatively affects them, who is going to come to invest when your neighbor is a shithole.

First I am for trade, and we greatly help each other on that, BUT Ethiopia building ports for Somalia!!!, that is the biggest joke I have ever heard!, Ethiopia is a begger, very poor ,how in the world they going to help another begger! Unless Farmaajo is wasting Abby's time, he should tell him the truth, and say, thank you I will look someone else with deep pocket and serious. But this looked more cooking Berbera deal.

or build a wall.

Eid Mubarak

very interesting. where is Oo? what you think of the big love from UAE?

It is time new Prime Minister consider resolving border with SOMALIA as well, and give back KILILKA, that Ethiopia annexed, or atleast give back what Mengistu Haile Mariam agreed with Siyad Barre, Else, no peace forever.

I agree with OO here, UAE is up to something, and so does Ethiopia, if given time, this new guy, is rocking the boat. Opening more business for Ethiopia. THe only thing is , Ethiopia, is poor,and massive, and does not need to kick out anybody, tiny Djibouti is able to deal with multiple SUPER powers at the same time, Follow IOG.

very true

It is either two. 1. Waa saad sheegteene oo ah in Puntland afka keliya ka noolyihiin 2.Diyaar garoow caadi ahayn, dadkicin iyo Weerar aan caadi ahayn in soo wadaan oo SL loo yaabo, iyagoo dadkii si kicinaya! Kan danbe baan u badin, waa eegnaa! hadii kale Soomaalidu waxay ku maahmaahdaa "Wayeel aadan wax tareeynin injir lagama qabto", macnaha qof aadan wax tareeyn waxba dhibkiisa ha ka hadlin.

^^Surprised by it, got it, by why he didn't want, does not make sense

Bro, that is one part of the story, I have a nephew in Camuud and for now he is staying put, doing final year, I am telling you that there are groups in Awdal that want the students and their families leave? who they working for, no idea. maybe families of soldiers killed in Tukaraq.

Something I don't get why Awdal/Camuud giving airtime to this story which is not newsworthy? why? Waraabe is a retard and is not part of Sl gov, yet Awdal propagating this story more! Something fishy

we are stuck in time loop

swear to same god?
