MOGADISHU (Somaliguardian) – Somaliland’s Civil Aviation and Airports Authority (SL-CAAA) on Tuesday accused Somalia’s government of misuse of airspace after Mogadishu had turned back several planes headed for the break-away region’s capital Hargeisa.
“The Somaliland Civil Aviation and Airports Authority (SL-CAAA) issues a critical notice to all United Nations agencies and the international community, effective February 13, 2024. In response to increasing aggression and misuse of airspace by the Mogadishu government, SL-CAAA pledges to take necessary steps to protect the airspace of Somaliland, preventing interference with arriving or departing flights at its airports,” the agency said in a statement.
“The SL-CAAA strongly condemns the Mogadishu government’s illegal actions, specifically targeting passenger planes, medical aircraft assisting citizens in urgent need, and those used by leaders and officials of Somaliland’s friendly nations.”
