Cargo exit

Due to the bombs found on freight planes out of Dubai last week, there is now a complete ban on cargo flights out of Jemen, Somalia and Somaliland. Therefore our two tonnes of equipment have to leave the country overland.

The last (?) attempt at extortion: pay me a USD 4000 bribe or I see to it the cargo doesn't leave the country. The fact that we have a letter from the minister permitting us to take the cargo out of the country  doesn't deter a real extortionist.

    Somaliland is full of other natural attractions including Naasa Hablood Mountains, the twin hills located on the outskirts of Hargeisa. Other notable sights include Mount Daallo, the most beautiful mountain in Somaliland, the Sheikh Mountains & bypass, Berbera beach, and the various attractions in Hargeisa city centre.
