Commercial Flights Resume to Somalia's South West State After Federal Forces Secure Baidoa: Local Media

A commercial plane landed at Baidoa airport transporting presidential guards—the vanguard for Somali Parliament Speaker Aden Madobe's delegation that arrived later.

The arrival marks the start of a federal political transition after government forces took control of the state capital, prompting state president Abdiaziz Laftagareen to step down.

According to a representative of the local travel industry, bookings began Monday night and airport operations have since resumed.
