Mogadishu port continues to operate
2006-08-28
(SomaliNet) The second biggest commercial ship has docked at the main sea port of Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia on Saturday two days after Islamists reopened it.
Yes, ladies and gents, the Mogadishu port has achieved the minimal norms expected of a civilized society for two whole days in a row!
UAE registered Victoria vessel which had sailed from Dubai was carrying commercial goods including commodities and cars. The ship chartered by Somali businessman called Abdi Wif began to unload the shipment with all former staff resumed work. “The work of the main old port in Mogadishu continues properly,” [a] local Islamist said. “This will help the life better and boost the business.”

Earlier first cargo ship had docked at the port of Mogadishu hours after Islamic Courts controlling the capital and much of south and central Somalia, declared that it was open to business.
