African Express Airways - Kenya From Orphan to Airline owner. By Samwel Kumba and Justus Ondari Seeing him seated in his spacious office along North Airport Road, Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), one would be forgiven for assuming that Captain Musa Bulhan has had it easy in life. For Capt. Musa, the proprietor and chief executive of African Express Airways, is the first African to own an airline with landing rights in Europe. Besides, the 59 year-old was among the first Kenyans to acquire the highest pilot qualifications- an airline transport pilot license-in 1974. But behind the ‘firsts and accolades’, Capt. Musa’s life is one hit by tragedy at a tender age and littered by internecine ‘wars’ thrown at him by both nature and man. Robbed of parental love, first by the death of his mother when he was a toddler, and then his father at 15, the decorated career pilot was forced to start fending for himself literally before he was out of the diapers. Four years down the line, at an age when most of his playmates probably still believed that their fathers were the strongest people on earth, a gangling of a boy with intelligence beyond his age made a startling career choice- to become a pilot. Unbeknown to him, the knack to survive was to be implanted in the young Musa right from the very day he decided to be a pilot. Many of the industry players he approached dismissed him as a joker. “Many tried to frighten and discourage me from the profession but everything they threw at me made me even more enthusiastic. They would instruct me to wake up at 4.00 am and check the oil or tyres of an aircraft. They would give me tests on all sorts of jargon which I could not understand. Then they would call me names. If I were fainthearted and uninterested in the training, I would have dropped out. I survived the ordeal,” reminisces the captain. However, not all people were bad and many, including the government which gave him a scholarship, came to his rescue when the going got tough. “In fact, I did not have much of a problem because I got a lot of help.” Musa was to undergo training in the United Kingdom and later in the United States after joining the defunct East African Airways. When it collapsed with the collapse of the then East African Community (EAC) in 1977, Kenya Airways (KQ) was formed. Obviously, there were too many pilots for the few airplanes the then nascent KQ had. “I felt it was high time for someone to give room. Unfortunately, I would not tell anyone else to get out. I told myself to give room with my meager Ksh 270,000 benefits,” Aviation business It was then that Capt. Musa decided to set up an airline. He floated the idea to the then ministry of Power and Communication but the ministry officials felt it could not work. Thinking they were getting rid of him, they gave him a temporary operating permit for him to set up the famous Pioneer Airlines at Wilson Airport in 1978.

NGONGE;942446 wrote: Xiin, I prefer to talk about the PL election to be honest. However, the real topic here is about the changing nature of Somali politics. The "tent" (as is evident by your and Baashi's recent replies on SOL) is being openly erected bang in the middle of Somali politics these days. It's being unapologetic and confrontational about it (from looted houses to Jubba and all the way to the SL/Somalia talks). But why the sudden change? Why does everyone suddenly sound like the Imam? For me, all roads seem to be pointing back to Hassan Sheikh. This is the topic that towers above all the Kenyan soldiers, looted houses, secessionist celebrations and all the titillating bits we keep seeing on this site every day. It is also a (potentially) good topic. Loool so many fires within fires, wheels turning within wheels.

Somalia is beginning to build its national tax revenue from imported goods with the new freight building up at the Port of Mogadishu. For the first time since the country slid into anarchy, container arrivals hit more than 1,200 in March 2013. "The new wind that is flowing around the country is getting to the Port. There is a new window of hope for the entire country," said Ahmed Abdi Kaarie, the Mogadishu Seaport Deputy General Manager, pleased about the return of the maritime industry's shipping liners to Mogadishu. The Port of Mogadishu was hit by war and piracy that kept off international shipping liners away from its coastline. State officials are in talks with several international investors to modernize it in readiness for the cargo build-up that is critical in helping to revitalize the stalled national economy. However, the growing traffic has already encouraged the port authorities to levy a development tax of about five percent on every container to help the port authorities raise the funds required to equip. "The strategy is to grow by more than 95 percent every year to make Mogadishu seaport the treasure port, the five percent fee is acceptable. It is what will lead us to purchase new machines and equipment that we need to carry out the work and meet our long- term growth objectives," Kaarie said in Mogadishu late on Monday. Somalia's Finance Ministry is yet to compute the annual gross domestic product growth that will build up from the past few months of trade generated by the Port. But the new port figures show in March, the number of freight ship docking at the Port more than doubled to 40 from an average of 15. Averagely, each cargo ship brings in goods with a conservative value of 5 million U.S. dollars, which means trade generated from the renewed activity would easily hit 200 million dollars a month. "We are pleased the people of the world believe in the peace we have in Somalia and are acting in solidarity with us," the Port official said. For the first time in more than five years, the efforts of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) in stabilizing the country is starting to bear fruit. AMISOM Force Commander Lieutenant General Andrew Gutti attributed the drop in the scale of piracy attacks on the enhanced security on land and the ongoing piracy patrols along the vast coast. The World Bank said in a rare report launched jointly with the government that Somalia has massively due to piracy and its effects on trade. Somalia itself has also suffered considerably from the impact of piracy. Increased trade costs are estimated to cost the country 6 million dollars annually. This excludes the lost maritime trade and fisheries opportunities caused by the fact that pirates dominated the waters. About 3,741 crewmembers of 125 different nationalities have been captured, with detention periods as long as 1,178 days. Over 97 sailors may have died either during the attacks, in detention after poor treatment, or during rescue operations and hundreds of pirates are believed to have died at sea. (Xinhua)

There are no foreign troops keeping peace there and their future is being determined without any input from them, what do you expect them to do? stay silent and wait for the other shoe to drop. The government seems to have forgotten that that region have members in the Somali parliament and if they don't want to take their input in any future negotiation then those people will have to do something before it's too late. The thing is why squander a trump card and weaken your position by ignoring the same people who were instrumental in getting you into power, the future of Somalia hinges on these talks, if the worst happens there might not be any Somalia to speak of. Maybe elect another 4 presidents to bring a grand total of 8 and another party in edmonton canada will be in order.

Major police operation underway in Garissa Standard A major police operation is underway in Garissa Town in a bid to boost security and arrest men behind serial killings that have left dozens of people dead in the town in the recent past. Police say they also want to get illegal immigrants who are in the town for conviction and repatriation on suspicion they could be behind the attacks.Officials say security agents involved in the operation have so far detained more than 20 people. The operation began at 5am and it is ongoing. More General Service Unit and Administration Police’s Rapid Deployment Unit were deployed to Garissa Sunday night and are involved in the operation. Witnesses say the town is virtually in a standstill. “We can see hundreds of police officers on the streets and they have been moving from house to house looking for suspected terrorists. I can see many people escaping this town,” said a caller. Another witness said the local bus stop was full of passengers who want to leave the town to Nairobi and other counties in North Eastern. Police involved in the operation have mounted roadblocks on major roads and are checking on all occupants of various vehicles on the move. Others are visiting hotels and residential houses looking for suspects and aliens. The operation came a day after the local CID boss and nine others officers and chiefs were interdicted for being involved in illegal activities in the area that are behind the killings. The government also pledged to offer a reward of between Sh50,000 and Sh100,000 to anyone who may provide information that will lead to arrest of criminals behind the killings. Internal security permanent secretary Mutea Iringo said similar interdiction action has been taken against customs officials involved in the illegal activities. The PS said the government will streamline and closely monitor operations of taxi and boda boda operators including limiting the latter’s working hours to between 6 am and 6 pm. Security agents will also closely monitor visitors booked in hotels and those renting residential houses, arrest all aliens for repatriation after conviction in courts and enhance patrols and mount roadblocks. The latest killings happened on Thursday in which ten people were killed in a hotel by gunmen who escaped. Garissa and other local towns have been the target of terrorists who kill innocent citizens, as well as security officers and other government officials, using either gunfire or grenades. Police officers, military personnel and Kenya Revenue Authority officials have in the past been killed in targeted attacks in Garissa. Ten people were killed during the latest attack targeted at patrons at Kwa Chege Hotel on Thursday night. The incidents started in October 2011 when Kenya Defence Forces entered Somalia to fight the terrorist group Al Shabaab. Officials point at a possibility that other interests were orchestrating the attacks under the guise of Al Shabaab, which usually claim responsibility for such attacks.
