Turkish Somali Flights

From the BBC:
"Somalia: Turkish Airlines begins flights to Mogadishu"

The first major commercial airline in more than 20 years has landed at Mogadishu airport in war-torn Somalia. Turkish Airlines says it is the start of a regular service to the Somali capital, the first by an international carrier from outside East Africa. Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bosdag was on board the flight, which was welcomed by the Somali president. The twice-weekly flights should make travel easier for Somali businessmen and members of the large diaspora. Somalia has not had a functioning central government for more than two decades and has been riven by factional fighting. Islamist militants were pushed out of the capital by Africa Union and government forces last August - although they have continued to stage attacks in the city.

^ I don't see this as a major step in the chaos that is Somalia. For over two decades there has been no central government and two areas in the north have declared their separation from the rest of the country and have been prosperous for years. Kenya and Ethiopia have troops inside Somalia fighting the Islamists and control small portions of the country. The capital has only been free of the Islamists for 7 months and that situation could change again. I am curious to know how many Somalis and Turks will travel on Turkish Airlines since I don't think it is many. ^
