Newborn,
Everyone calls you brother. Always ready with a smile and a story. A simple 'hi' was never enough, you always stopped for a minute to chat. Determined and focused straight out of school. Responsible, hardworking, always ready to help. So much to say, not enough words.

May God reward your unshakable faith in Him.
Our brother and friend. We honour you.

Prayers for our student Mariam Omar will be held today 6th March at 1pm at Masjid Nur in South C, Nairobi. Burial will be held at Langata muslim cemetery after prayers.

We are lucky to have experienced your one-of-a-kind personality. Always bubbly and cheerful, we remember you with a smile Mariam.

🚨 History is being made in Djibouti 🌍🥳🥳


A significant milestone was achieved today by the national carrier of Djibouti. For the first time, the flight crew was exclusively composed of Djiboutian professionals.

Before becoming the vision of the CEO, this accomplishment embodies the initial vision of His Excellency Mr. Ismail Omar Guelleh, whose CEO, Mr. Abdourahman Ali Abdillahi, was tasked with implementing it. After sending 14 young Djiboutians for a two-year training at the Ninety Nine Flying School in Nairobi, they further honed their skills by traveling to South Africa, specifically to Simaero. There, they underwent a specialized program focused on "Type rating ERJ 145."The results of these efforts were proudly unveiled with the Embraer ERJ145 piloted by two Djiboutian pilots: Captain and Chief Pilot Mahad H. Ahmed, accompanied by First Officer Mouhiyadine Said.

This moment is a source of pride for the entire country and comtinent , underscoring the national airline's ongoing commitment to the training of its human resources, thus laying the foundation for sustainable success in the aviation industry.

Well done
