I reckon if there was planes on the Somali side....they're probably American.
Bc they r warplanes, not allowed internationally unless the govt of that country authorizes it
Civil airplanes puy for us through the UN and we will collect them soon- there's sometechnological problems not technical from the part of the govt and we we r waiting the arrival of some italian engineers-
Saudi airplanes want to bomb cadan from the somali sea
This way is much safer for them to finish the mission
In exchange we will get financial and diplomatic backing.
xamar has no say. If the Saudis wanted to use the air space they would have to inform Somaliland first. It's our waters HSM Can't do nothing.
kkkk its like galmudug or clan X claiming having control of its airspce!
show yourself on the map first then i will take you seriously!
