if you don't control the ground you don't control the airspace. Thats the very fact that is important to note to seay the least
The Somaliland republic can issue it's own clearances meaning there are planes taking off and landing without Mogadishu's authorization that means planes flying through Somaliland airspace at least need information from Somaliland. Somaliland can even issue flight level changes and reclearances and they could ignore them but based on other similar situations they would just get confirmation from Mogadishu and then follow the direction.
So basically if you don't control the ground and can't ground flights and have state-like entities in your 'sovereign territory' that can afford the necessary equipment, let alone operate international airports with mulitple carriers, The bunker doesnt don't control the airspace..
Further more Somaliland policy is actually amazing they should continue with this path it works and it should work and it can work..
Somalia would control Somaliland airspace if it controlled the two main airports in Somaliland Berbera airport. And Hargeisa cigaal international airport had they controlled both of our airports they would have controlled the airspace . So when they say Sovreignty icou and all of that it solely only when a country controls the airports of their supposed republic all its airports Then they control the airspace , But The bunker doesnt control anything outside the Bunker.
Somaliland will continue to send mixed signal jamming the frequancy telling airplanes where to go and when to go until icou or other international agency intervenes and let us come to another discussion and we will show them the Somaliland Somalia talks comminique in which the walanweyn accepted that the airspace will by jointly managed share the revenue complete joint managment as it said in the agreement if u were honest OD u would have said and called uppong the walanweyn to uphold the agreeement they signed wiht Somaliland
This is the agreement
