Somalia resumes livestock exports

After long years of wait, the Mogadishu seaport officially opened its doors to livestock owners who wish to export their animals through the facility. This is the first time in almost two decades that livestock is being exported from the war ravaged capital Mogadishu.

The country on Friday exported its first batch consisting of 13,000 goats and 2435 camels. Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt are among the leading countries that import livestock from the Horn of African nation.
