The news from Mogadishu said that there was a delay in the flights of civilian planes going to Baidoa, which were supposed to leave Mogadishu this morning, although they left later.
Adan Abarey, an adviser to the Ministry of Security in the South West, who spoke to the BBC while he was at Mogadishu airport, accused the Somali government of “ordering the suspension of civilian flights”.
He said that he was one of the people who were blocked at the airport and his flight was delayed.
However, the Somali Civil Aviation Authority (SCAA), denied and published a press release on this issue on its social media, said “there is no interruption in flights to Baidoa”.
