Tour around Africa: Stage 60 - Hafun (HCBA) to Galcayo-Abdullahi Yusuf (HCMR)
MS Flight Simulator VFR Flight Plan
Previous stage - Next stage

At the bottom of this page you will find the download link of this Flight Plan (.PLN file)


 
In this VFR - GPS Flight Plan we take off from the dirt runway 23 of the Hafun airstrip (HCBA), fly southwards following the coast and finally land in the runway 23R of the Galcayo (Abdullahi Yusuf) airport (HCMR)

This was a transition stage in the tour with no special points of interest. Find below a short extract and screenshots of the main points of the route. In this journey around Africa I have used the Cessna 172S (Skyhawk)


Right after take off from the runway 23 of the aerodrome of the Hafun airstrip (HCBA), leaving the peninsula behind.

 



After a short flight above the sea we reach the coast of the mainland.

 



Flying in parallel to the coast. Desert and more desert...
 



Passing by the small city of Godobjiran.

Godobjiran is a city in the northeastern Nugal province of Somalia. It serves as the center of the Godobjiran District in the autonomous Puntland state.

Godobjiran District (Somali: Degmada Godobjiran) is a district in the northeastern Nugal region of Puntland, a state with a high degree of autonomy within the Federal Republic of Somalia. The district capital is Godobjiran. Godobjiran's district status is only used and valid in Puntland, but not in Somalia's federal administrative system, where Godobjiran is a village in the Jariban District in the Mudug Region in Puntland. (*1)



Flying over Bali busle.

Bali busle is a town in the Eastern Sanaag region of Puntland. Somaliland also has a claim to the territory, and Dhahar District in the administrative division of Somaliland.

After the Somali Civil War, settlements were established to make charcoal from acacia trees.

During the time of British Somaliland, there were only four settlements in this area: Buraan, El Dahir, Xubeera, and Hadaftimo. After Somalia's independence, new settlements were created through drilling and other activities. Especially when the Somali civil war started in around 1991, many settlements were established. The settlement of Bali busle began in 1992, and the second phase of construction was carried out in 1995. According to an elder in Bali busle. the primary purpose of the settlement was to make charcoal for urban.

The trees used for charcoal production were mainly native acacias, and many of them were cut down. For this reason, the Puntland government banned the export of charcoal from Bosaso port in 1998 and later from other ports. As a result, between 1992 and 2000, the amount of charcoal shipped from Bali busle was as much as 100 truckloads per day, but after 2000, the number dropped to 10 truckloads per day. Pasture grass was also shipped in truckloads of 30-40 by 2000.

The estimated population as of 1999 was 8,000, considerably more than the current population. The Somali Red Crescent Society established hospitals in four locations, including Bali busle, because the spread of diseases was recognized in the area from that time.

In April 2008, diarrhea struck the area, killing 11 people and sickening more than 750 in four surrounding villages, including Bali busle. A doctor at the local hospital said that the Somaliland government and the NGO Horn Relief sent relief supplies.

In November 2017, many malnourished children in Bali busle have been reported, and the Puntland Ministry of Health has been requested to assist with medical supplies.

In May 2019, 100 (or 800) soldiers of the 93rd Battalion of the Somaliland Army, which had been ordered to attack the Badhan region, defected to Puntland in Bali busle. (*1)

 



Final approach to the runway 23R of the Galcayo (Abdullahi Yusuf) airport (HCMR).

Galkayo (Somali: Gaalkacyo, Arabic: جالكعيو,[2] Italian: Gallacaio also known as Rocca Littorio) is the third-largest city in Somalia which serves as the capital of the north-central Mudug region.

Geographically, Galkayo is divided into four main quarters: Garsoor, Horumar, Israac, and Wadajir. Puntland fully controls Galkayo, hormar, and israac (The neutral areas are sited by the Old Galkayo market. Galkayo serves as the capital of the Galkayo District. The city has grown considerably in recent times and serves as a commercial hub.

A lively trading city, Galkayo is a center for local business.Hotels, guest houses, restaurants, supermarkets and newly erected office blocks earmarked for the government and NGOs line the streets, juxtaposed by the tall minarets of masjids. The city also offers numerous social services such as hospitals, petrol stops and police stations, with the former Somali Army barracks kept in good condition and renovated.

Moreover, Galkayo is a hub of calligraphic art, serving as a training ground of sorts for local visual artists. Elaborate murals and phrases in Arabic and English adorn the walls of the city's many office and shop buildings

In 2010, the Food and Agriculture Organization noted that population estimates for Galkayo ranged from 75,000 to 315,000, with a United Nations Development Programme estimate for 2005 being 105,000. The International Crisis Group gives a figure of 137,000 for 2015.

The Puntland area of the city is composed predominately of the Omar Mahamud and Reer Mahamud sub-clans of the Majerteen, followed by the Leelkase, Arab Salah and Surre clans.

The neighborhood of Wadajir in the southern area of the city, is mainly inhabited by the Sa'ad sub-division of the Habar Gidir. (*1)
