Pray before, during and after your flight. Flying in Somalia

Apols. if this is in the wrong place. It's an interesting read about flying in Somalia.

Somalia: Pray before, during and after your flight - Voices of Africa

brief sample:

"When the gates at the departure lounge opened, everyone rushed towards the plane. I, along with some other quick-footed passengers, chose to run. As with many domestic flights in Somalia, there are more passengers than available seats. If you don’t literally grab a seat on the plane, you’ll stand for the whole journey despite having paid for a seat. I was lucky to be one of the first to get on the plane. Seats filled up fast and 25 unlucky passengers were left standing in the aisle."
