A Silverstone Air Fokker 50 on a cargo flight for AMISOM from Mogadishu to Beledweyne returned shortly after takeoff reporting hydraulic problems. After landing on runway 05 it veered off to the right and hit a concrete perimeter wall, seriously injuring both pilots. The investigation found the root cause was a failure of the hydraulic system with loss of steering and braking, and that the aircraft was not airworthy.
