  1. Great to hear that at last somaliland has its own fishing port to be proud of, and that they are able to fish in their our own seas.I hope the days of fisher men from other countries coming and stealing fish from somalia are coming to its end.Somaliland fisher men need to catch up with the rest of the world.

  2. This is not a new port with a new facility. It is the oldest port of Berbera, which full human excrements and dirties are commomulated
