Good for Ethiopian and their Q400! Not necessarily referring to runway lengths. I know that a business jet can land and take off from Goma. Am very aware of the airport. Lots of different size aircraft fly in/out of Goma. An adequate runway doesn't make it suitable for a business jet needing emergency ground services OR guaranteeing safety and security for corporate/VIP passengers..

EDIT: Additionally, wabulabantu, noticed that you are NOT a pilot. Thought pointing that out might have some relevance to your credibility advising PILOTS. Cheers!
