Here is to hoping they invest in relocating the port as well (a far more pressing concern in my opinion). It’s right in the middle of the city which limits potential for expansion and the traffic in and around the port is absolutely disgusting. If the airport is relocated to the north of the city, the port should be relocated somewhere to the south between Xamar and Jazeera.
A new airport will be built in Muqdisho

Adeb Adde could literally just be a port
This doesn’t solve the issue of traffic in and around the city. Now trucks just unload around KM4 which is the heart of Mogadishu. I also think that with an existing runway, Aden Adde would be a useful airport for military operations as well as for the Somali Air Force in the future. Expanding the port to the direction of Aden Adde would also be very expensive too since there’s a good chunk of incredibly valuable real estate between the two. I’m unsure how much of that land is private vs government owned but most of it likely isn’t owned by the state.
from the port to turksom is all government land so that isn't an issue there's no reason for a airfare base in a city, especially when Baledogle Airfield one of the best in Africa is so close.
Ahhh ok I wasn’t 100% sure. That makes expansion possible and more affordable than relocation but the location in the city is still incredibly inconvenient. Will require levels of traffic engineering which I doubt we have the capacity for atm but we’ll make do.
Who is footing the bill
If it’s xamar taxes, the money should stay in xamar, but that’s what happens when a president that’s not even from there gets the seat.Were you expecting him to build in the ghetto
35km is too far tbh, anywhere close enough. Nobody cares about clan land. This is about the capital and its development

Look guys it doesn't matter where the airport is getting built because it's owned by the FGS not clans

Actually Xamar needs to expand as the population will grow outskirts of xamar are completely vast empty lands
Do you know a country with an airport inside the city? Aden Adde airport location is one of the dumbest locations for an airport I've ever seen. Move it outside the city and use Aden Adde for VIPs and SNA. Lock down all that side, close Halane and force the embassies to build proper buildings in that locked zone.
I have to drive for an hour to get to my airport and I live in a western Capital city.
I understand but 35km from the capital is still absurd. There has to be a closer location
Certainly, xassan robbed the treasury 2017-2018 so his capabilities were limited, but he still managed to write up thousands of families for welfare and built xamar’s museum, library, and stadium just through volunteer workYou think farmajo gave a flying f*ck about xamar
Good insight, it’s the same over here too, accessibility is priority. That’s a plan to get behind in that case. Aden adde is run by Turks anyways, using it as a higher personnel airport would be for the best.
It's money they are begging international community.
Plus xamar is multi clan city. During the 90s war and early 2000s before amisom came. The airport was held by other hawiye clan not abgaal.
