Whatever you use depends on the line your organisation or local host arranges. In practice it stays light — messages, email and a few internet calls a day — because movement in the cities is time-limited anyway.

Al aterrizar

The main gateway is Aden Adde International in Mogadishu (MGQ). In the north, Egal International at Hargeisa (HGA) is the way into Somaliland, and there are also airports at Bosaso (BSA), Garowe (GGR) and Berbera (BBO). Most flights connect through Nairobi, Addis Ababa, Dubai or Istanbul. Land crossings from Ethiopia and Kenya exist, but whether they are usable depends entirely on the security situation at the time.

Dónde cambia la cobertura

The network clusters in the coastal and trading cities — Mogadishu, Hargeisa, Berbera, Bosaso and Garowe. The interior is wide semi-desert rangeland, and the western borderlands, the valleys between the southern towns and the long inter-regional roads have effectively nothing to hold on to. That is one reason travel between cities is usually done on domestic flights rather than by driving.
