Somalia to build the first space launch centre in Africa!

 Somalia's upcoming Spaceport, now confirmed as "under construction" by both Somali & Turkish presidents, will be the 1st space launch facility in Africa and the 3rd in a Muslim-majority country after Kazakhstan and Iran. Key advantages include:

✅ Facility is being built at an undisclosed location along the country's long coastline to the Indian Ocean. Its eastward orientation and close proximity to the equator allows for unique space launch advantages, saving fuel costs and enabling the ability to reach many different types of orbits.

✅ 1st, 2nd and even 3rd rocket stages of heavy lift vehicles will be able to safely splash down in the ocean in relatively low-traffic areas, reducing risk and spacecraft insurance costs. A naval port nearby will allow for quick transportation of payloads and rocket parts as needed.

✅ The SpaceCenter will include a launch control building complete with additional facilities for engineering services, visitors and journalists, hangars for engine & rocket assembly, a railway system to move assembled rockets to various launchpads, SLV erector systems and multiple launch towers designed to accommodate various rockets in use around the world.

✅ The center will offer launch services globally and is expected to become one of #Mogadishu's top revenue sources (split 50:50 with Türkiye) while providing high-paying engineering, technology and manufacturing jobs to thousands of Somalis. It will also catalyze the rapid development of

Somalia's industry, hospitality and business services sectors. 

✅ The space complex will significantly boost Somalia's international image, stabilize the country's political scene while promoting federal unity, and contribute to the creation of supplementary revenue streams including FDIs and tourism across the country.

Their plan is to take the road leading to Mitumba hills, passing through Elende_N’Ebukala, then through the Mount Kabobo reserve in the Nganja area towards Fizi, before joining the Bendera Forces and advancing along the Kalemie axis, in the province of Tanganyika.

The government has also alerted the population and the international community so that no one is caught off guard. While Kigali claims the M23-AFC has “withdrawn” from the Uvira territory, the reality on the ground seems to indicate otherwise.

Beni-Butembo road : DOTT Services rejects responsibility for the impassable road

 

The road blockage on the Beni-Butembo road is attributed to rain and repeated breakdowns of heavy trucks. For the past two days, long lines of vehicles have been reported in Kisalala, in the Maboya area.

The Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) confirmed on Friday, December 26, 2025, the forced withdrawal of M23-AFC rebel troops from the center of Uvira, in South Kivu province.

He indicated that the Congolese army succeeded in sinking two M23-AFC rebel boats stationed at the port of Kalundu, carrying military equipment belonging to this rebellion supported by the Rwandan army, thus forcing the rebels to establish their new headquarters more than 20 km from the city of Uvira.

Eleven weapons were also recovered by the FARDC.
