This measure impacts several crucial districts like Hamar Weyne, Hamar Jajab, Waberi, Wadajir, and the Jazeera locale in Dharkeynleey. These areas, situated near the airport, have experienced significant growth in recent times, raising alarms about aviation safety and security challenges.

“Any breach of this directive will now result in legal repercussions,” Salah Dheere stated, underlining the administration’s dedication to upholding the new regulations.
