(SomaliNet) Bellview Airlines has been ordered to stop all its activities. This was after its October crash in which 117 people lost their lives.

It was the third airline to suffer the same following numerous plane clashes in the country. "We've stopped flying on all routes. We think this is probably to give room for an audit," Bellview corporate affairs director Habib Mohammed said.
