Door plug that blew off Alaska Airlines plane in-flight found in backyard
The National Transportation Safety Board says the plug covering an unused exit door that blew out minutes into an Alaska Airlines flight Friday evening has been found. The force of the depressurization slammed the cockpit door into the front restroom door, damaging the restroom door, and it took a flight attendant three tries to get the cockpit door to close again, Homendy said. Investigator-in-Charge John Lovell examines the fuselage plug area of Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 Boeing 737-9 MAX. The FAA, NTSB, Boeing, Alaska Airlines, Airline Pilots Association and Association of Flight Attendants are all investigating, officials said. In the U.S., only Alaska Airlines and United Airlines use the Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft.

Ethiopia’s controversial quest for access to the Red Sea
The treasures of Rome and India all flowed through its ports along the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea. The ancient Greeks even named the southern part of the Atlantic Ocean, thousands of miles away from the Ethiopian highlands, the Ethiopian Sea. AdvertisementThat’s why Abiy Ahmed, the ambitious Ethiopian prime minister, has long harbored visions of reaching the sea. Ethiopia’s profound economic woes and constant internecine conflicts have not dented Abiy’s desires for maritime access — indeed, they may fuel them. And last week, in what was a geopolitical bombshell in the Horn of Africa, Abiy appeared to achieve his goal.

Somalia president nullifies Ethiopia-Somaliland port deal. Here are the details
The deal, signed on New Year's Day, involved granting Ethiopia access to the Red Sea in exchange for recognising Somaliland as an independent nation. "This evening, I signed the law nullifying the illegal MoU between the government of Ethiopia and Somaliland," Reuters quoted President Mohamud as saying. Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's aspiration to secure Red Sea access has long been a contentious issue in the Horn of Africa. Abiy's assertion in October that Ethiopia's existence is "tied to the Red Sea" reflects the significance he places on securing strategic maritime access. As of now, there has been no official response from Somaliland or Ethiopian authorities regarding the nullification of the port deal.

Boeing's mid-flight blowout a big problem for company

Had the door blown out here, the sudden rush of air would have been much more violent, and potentially lethal, especially if passengers were not wearing seatbelts.

International Community Expresses Disapproval as Ethiopia Acknowledges Somaliland
Since 1991, the territory has been governed by democratically elected governments that seek international recognition as the government of the Republic of Somaliland. Since Somaliland is unrecognized, international donors have found it difficult to provide all kinds of aid including finances. International recognition has been a long-sought goal for Somaliland, a region in northern Somalia that has enjoyed de facto independence since 1991. Ethiopia authorities took a unilateral decision to accept Somaliland as an independent state without consulting the African Union. Somalia has vowed to defend its territory as it branded the accord between Ethiopia and Somaliland an “aggression” early January.
