Video: Somalia News Bulletin | UAE Air Ban, China Visit Postponed, India Rejects Somaliland Move

Somalia has suspended UAE military and cargo flights following concerns over the unauthorized transit of Yemen’s Southern Transitional Council leader through Somali airspace. The move has heightened diplomatic tensions between Mogadishu and Abu Dhabi. China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi did not arrive in Mogadishu as scheduled, with no official explanation or new date announced. The delay came after major security deployments and road closures across the capital, as Somalia seeks stronger international backing after Israel’s recognition of Somaliland. India has rejected Israel’s recognition of Somaliland, calling it illegal and reaffirming its support for Somalia’s unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. The United States has paused some assistance to Somalia’s federal government pending an investigation into humanitarian aid operations. The World Food Programme says food stocks affected by redevelopment work at Mogadishu port were recovered and remain under its control. At Aden Adde International Airport, a new parking facility has been launched to ease congestion and improve access, marking the first phase of a wider redevelopment plan.
