Somalia: Government bans all flights to Somaliland
 | Good idea; you guys haven't yet picked enough fights. |
(SomaliNet) Somalis civil aviation department of the transitional federal government on Sunday has issued a decree banning all flights to and from the regions of the self declared break away public of Somaliland.
The move came when Somaliland authority warned off the new e-passport saying anyone who holds that document will face eight years in prison.
The civilian aviation general manager Mohammoud Sheik Ali said all flights enroute to the cities of Mogadishu to Hargeisa, Mogadishu to Berbera and Hargeisa to Mogadishu were banned starting from the date issued the statement. The government told all the local flight companies to abide by the order.
The new banning will definitely be stumbling block to many Somalis including business people and it is not known how long it will take the impediment
