{Waagacusub.net }Somalia's foreign affairs Minister Fowziya Adam made Turkish Airlines stranded for two hours at Mogadishu airport, when its crew refused to take daughter of Warlord Qaybdiid.

The woman, Farhiya Abdi Qaybdiid, has been denied her chance to becomeone of the delegation members led by Minister Fawziya, because she didn’t have entry Visa to Belgium.

The minister told Turkish Airlines management that the plane is not going to take as long as they refuse to take the woman without Visa. "I’m deputy PM and Minister forforeign affairs, if you refuse to take my personal secretary, your plane will not come back to our country” said the Minister. Turkish Airlines which suffered delay of two hours forcefully took the woman and the delegation.
The woman, who was carrying Somali Passport and US green card was
stopped at Brussels airport. Again Minister Fowziya fought with
immigration officers for saving the woman from detention or possible
deportation to Mogadishu. The Minister and her real Personal
secretary, Abdi Dirshe, stayed with Farhiya Qaybdiid at the airport,
Waagacusub has learnt from important news source.

Somali Ambassador to EU told Waagacusub, that he is working on obtaining Visa for Farhiya.
Farhiya, who has been living a year in San Diego, US, cannot use her green
card to enter European country.
The Minister argued that Farhiya is her second secretary, but those
who criticize her believe that her purpose was human trafficking.
Fawziya always traffics people with her, when going for official trip
abroad. Her last official to Canada, Minister Fowziya was accompanied
by ordinary people who paid her to take them to Canada. The same
people asked for asylum in Canada. One person who was previously
trafficked by the Minister told Waagacusub that he paid $ 20,000 to
the Minister.
It is not yet clear what the Turkish government will do regarding the
delay of their plane, and the Somali Minister’s act to force them to
take someone without Visa.

OSINT Report: Swiss-Registered VIP Charter Helicopter (HB-ZYI) Appears in Somaliland President Cirro's Facebook Post Amid Israel Travel Rumours

A Facebook photo posted by Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi (Cirro) has triggered widespread speculation among Somalis online, with claims that the President is preparing for an overseas trip — including rumours linking the visit to Israel.

The photo appears to have been taken on an airport apron, consistent with charter helicopter operations. While Switzerland is strongly indicated through the aircraft registration prefix HB, the exact airport location cannot be confirmed from the posted image alone. Additionally, claims circulating online suggesting Cirro has entered security "wanted lists" remain unverified and unsupported by official documentation. Full Article
