Bosaso, Somalia – March 9, 2026: Brown Land News has obtained an exclusive photo showing a UAE military cargo airplane taking off from Bosaso Airport early this morning at 6:32 AM. The aircraft is a four-engine plane, but the photo shows one engine is missing, and it was operating on only three engines. This flight appears to violate Somalia’s official ban on UAE planes, highlighting the weak enforcement by the Somali government. Reports suggest that the UAE continues to use Bosaso Airport secretly for military supply operations supporting the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan. Analysts warn that continued UAE use of Bosaso Airport could have serious regional consequences. Military supplies from Bosaso are reportedly fueling conflicts in Sudan and could further disrupt peace efforts in Yemen. Regional allies, including Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Qatar, and Turkey, are urged to closely monitor UAE activities at Bosaso Airport, as unregulated use poses a direct threat to regional stability. Brown Land News will continue to monitor this developing story and provide updates as more information becomes available.
