(SomaliNet) The Alliance of Re-liberation of Somalia (ARS) based in Djibouti has slammed the Al-shabab fighters for threatening to close Somalia's international airport.
The ARS led by Sheikh Sheriff Shekh Ahmed condemned the threat because the international airport is one of the key economic outfits for Somalia, according to a statement released Saturday afternoon.
| I really, really hate the fact that Ahmed looks like the sane one in this argument ... |
The Islamist group, Al-shabaab, warned last week that airlines should stop flights to the Mogadishu airport from 16 September, arguing that the airport was helping Ethiopians military occupation of Somali. |
