Abudwak Airport in Somalia’s Galgadud region has resumed domestic flights after being closed for 13 days.
Local authorities announced the airport’s reopening on Thursday.
The closure was prompted by threats from local militia groups and allegations of political interference, which caused significant disruption to air travel.
The airport’s reopening is crucial for the region, as it provides a vital link for transportation and commerce.
Efforts to ensure security and stability at the airport have likely played a role in restoring operations, allowing travelers and goods to move between Abudwak and other parts of the country again.
