Africa - It's Contagious

When joining from the S in 100% CAVOK for Rwy 05 the US military "controller" gives you routing instructions for a 20 mile DME arc that must be joined from the North and takes you over land instead of nice safe sea and then mechanically intones (put on hick backwoods accent) "Mogadishu airspace believed to be compromised" and merely repeats it like a robot when asked what it means - as does his supervisor when you call him by landline on landing. Pointing out that 'compromised' has no specific meaning and that failing to identify whatever they thought important enough to tell us about was rather pointless proved completely ineffective.

It can't be something in the water as theirs was all flown in by C5...
