“We had some delays on Friday, which is a public holiday here, and Saturday, which was a religious holiday, so all public offices were closed. Yesterday and today we worked with the local authorities, and had a meeting with the Minister of Telecommunications, in order to speed up the release of the equipment, which has already been inspected. Unfortunately, these are technical issues that have to be dealt with in local times and ways. However, we are confident that we will be able to resolve the various tasks by tomorrow.”
We keep our fingers crossed, with immense anticipation, and antennas pointed to Somalia.
