^^ Lack of resources, 0.5km is an estimated one million dollars or slightly more!

Norf, that the runway is 2.5km is real, a friend just confirmed me with that. Jumbo Jets can land and take off short runways, and short I do mean 3km, once the airport have that 3km, then Jumbo Jets can manage to take off 2.2km, the rest is just to make a room for any eventuality.

^ No! Just build the normal road that runs STRAIGHT inside the city, once you do that, then talk about FARAANTI!

^ Norf, for 737-800, ET is right not fully loading the aircraft, as fully loaded plane requires minimum of 2.98km, with 45m wide runway, I suppose the issue was not about the width of the runway, but the length of the runway which if it is 2.5km is a real shame. It needs great technique in taking off with 2.5km, but some airports like short one's located in the sea or highly populated areas, 2.5km achievable but with care each time.

^^ Because I know the people who will be managing it, only 2 people basically, not even people, and the money will just sit there at their offices and the bank, only to be withdrawn bits and bits, here and there, with workshops and seminars, hotel conferences talking about oil exploration, dinners, transport, sport tournaments, the money will dry up before January 2014. Mark my word, Tallaabo!

spend more than Sh4.8 billion for recurrent and development expenditure before June 30, next year. We will talk after June 30 next year Inshaa Allaah to see where the money went, I say it again: None of that £38 million you mentioned will be spent on any project, not even a single one, but to verify my claim, lets talk after June 30 next year if I am alive!

Do you have evidence that he did not agreed the agreement 3 days ago, any evidence such as audio or video would be OK that Faroole said he opposed it.

^^ Niman waaweyn oo iska yeel-yeelayo, sidan bey u labistaan our North American Somalis(men up to the age of 40 yrs old), indhaheygaan ku arkey magaala dhan oo dawagaab laga qabo, waana Edmonton & Calgary, it was summer maybe and wey iska leersanayeen, laakin magaala dhan oo wada leersaneyso waa waxaan caqliga gali karin!

Norf, that is right, the equivalent of 320 waaye camal, That is great picture Alpha, Ibti soo tuur twitterkaaga, your blog kuma jiraan sawirada,

^^ Same here, don't know how to use Twitter hehe, never used it Ibti, so it was 737-800, that is good at least, 130 passengers already, that is a record for ET for first day at least, planes don't have to be full anyway, most important is keeping the schedule even no passenger on board. Will try to locate the Twitter pics

loolz which airport are we talking about, the Cisaley one or the Hobyo one

The beast of the skies!

Ibti, it better be 737-800(154 passenger capacity) and not 737-700(118 passenger capacity) which is an old aircraft, not old but 737-800 is much more robust, economic and environment friendly. Ps: I had some insider information that Somali Airlines had acquired its third aircraft in 2 months(can't disclose their model or seating plans), the planes are now undergoing painting and branding in one of Europe's capitals, okey, it is Dublin(number one place for aircraft leasing in the world) and Shannon Airport(few hours from Dublin(where they are being serviced now)). The defunct Somali Airlines is planning to launch services this year, I expect the first destinations to be Hargeisa.

^^ looool So it is just a small seminar for few guys. I would like to see the list of the 15 countries, is Somalia included, and who is representing them, Doctor Faroole would not let this opportunity pass if there was something in it, so I conclude this whole so called conference to be just a workshop for expats and their country of origin men.

Raula, mid murtasiq(mercenary) ah ayaa so called resortigaas iska leh, $500 ma ahanee waa $800 a night, illaa 2007kii ayuu halkan joogey and made 500 million dollars since 2008, hada waa ninka ugu Taajirsan Xamar, kambusyadiisana waxaa inta badan galo shaqaalaha hey'adaha oo habeen kasta intaa bixiyo oy sii dheertahay cuntadii laga cuni lahaa makhaayadihiisa oo inta badan u badan kalluun iyo digaag, xildhibaana badana waan ku arkey ayagoo meeshan dagan. Hada Kismaayo ayuu ka furayaa(wuuba furey already with Container houses at the Airport), guryo kaloo fabricated houses ahna magaalada meel ka yara baxsan oo bada ku dhagan ayaa hada dhisma uga socdo. Ninkaan badeena ayuu fahmey, shaqaalihiisa waxey u badanyihiin Philipines & Hindi, waxaana soo raaco inyaroo South Africanka madowga ah, wax Soomaali waa ku yaryahay hadeysan dhanneenba 5 qof oo uu u heesto turjumaan ahaan. He has access to Villa Somalia too as he provides security to Ugandeseka and all Amisom soldiers.

mahadsanid Abbaas, halkaa howsha ka sii wad. TWITTER horta ma leeyahay qeeb Afka Soomaaliga lagu daro, meeshaa niyahow anigu maba tago balse ma xumo in Soomaaliga lagu daro, Afkeena waa inuu ka dhax muuqdaa Internetka meel kastoo ka mida Youtube, walaa Facebook, walaa kii Ruushka iyo Shiinaha. Laakin Shiinaha iyo Ruushkaba wey ka maarmeen Twitter iyo Facebook iyo Youtube, kuwa iyaga u gooni ah ayey leeyihiin oo boqolaala malyuiun oo users ka diiwaan gashan, hadee mid Soomaali u gaara kolleey waqti bey qaadan baan filayaa, in turjumaanka kuwaan intaan wadno soo ma haboona inaan platform Soomaali u gaar ah la hindiso.

Faroole opposes the agreement is the title, Faroole told the government to be series about the federal is the content of the article even though Hiiraan made a plunder on the inteview given by Faroole to Reuters, still I don't see harsh words from Faroole. Maa isku dirka la joojiyo iyo kal fogaanshaha ummada, I can understand GAAROODI praying for a civil war, but our CARAFAAT doing it is another dimension, CARAFAAT is a reasonable guy and supports any agreement between government and states. In my opinion, I don't support any agreement at all because I don't recognize any groups of entities that create false states as well as any groups that claim to be representing the Somali people in the form of government because the Somali people NEVER voted for them.
