Mogadishu's airport has been closed periodically because of fighting around the city. It last reopened in August 2006, and is still operational.
According to Wikipedia, the plane is a DC-8 that has been stranded since the eruption.
All the best,

There doesn't appear to be a taxiway to the south that could get it to the runway.
In the satellite picture, it looks like there is a very large airplane with no way to get to the runway. I wonder if it's really cut off, or if they taxi it over the lava flow?
A 2002 volcanic eruption nearby sent a lava stream over the north portion of the runway. The south portion of 18/26 is still operational.
