“Camels are lifted on to a ship at the port of Berbera for export across the Gulf of Aden.” (via 2011 May 17 « Somaliland247’s Blog)
Somaliland ‘exporting’ camels (to Middle East) D:
Somalia has been doing this trade for a long time-being shipped to middle eastern countries (specifically the khaleej)-aha i remembered i sorta was shocked when i saw camels being lifted like that :)
The trade between Somalia (Somaliland,Puntland etc) has always been livestock-nomads made a trade between their ‘daris’ usually many somalis refer to the Yemenis as their ‘daris’ neighbor because of this on going trade-many of the people working at the ports are from South Asia-anyways…this has been going on for centuries the export of livestock and we get spices in return from India etc.
:D also because of this trade it is helping people out-never ending trade that even despite war they continue.
Yeah. I heard they move camels from (on foot)
Kismayo to port of Berbera? like 1000 miles. 2500 miles
… 1000 miles … 2500 miles on foot, to get camel to port
