Somalia: Turkish Airlines begins flights to Mogadishu

Turkey's PM has said he wants to challenge the idea that Mogadishu is a no-go area

The first major commercial airline in more than 20 years has landed at Mogadishu airport in war-torn Somalia.

Turkish Airlines says it is the start of a regular service to the Somali capital, the first by an international carrier from outside East Africa.

Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bosdag was on board the flight, which was welcomed by the Somali president.

The twice-weekly flights should make travel easier for Somali businessmen and members of the large diaspora.

Will the London conference help Somalia?

People recalled that there have been some 20 international conferences on Somalia since the collapse of central authority in 1991, and that they have achieved very little. Not another big, expensive talking shop, many Somali-watchers thought.

But since then, there are a couple of signs that this one might be different.

So everyone is free to image his view about critical and ongoing problem of Somalia and the outcome of this conference??????????????????????

We need your comments

Thanks
