Last update: 3 hours agoAviation and Travel: Somaliland has barred tickets issued through Somalia’s IATA billing system for departures from Hargeisa and Berbera, including previously sold return tickets. Travel agents must meet local licensing rules by Friday and use approved sales channels. Trade Routes: Ethiopia still sends 96.71% of its maritime cargo through Djibouti, while Berbera handles 2.74%, according to 2025/26 figures cited in a new analysis. The imbalance leaves efforts to diversify trade routes far from reality. Public Finance: Somaliland’s auditor general says 27 people have been arrested in corruption investigations since President Irro took office. His office has also released government audit findings, which he says give taxpayers a clearer view of public spending. Regional Commerce: China and Djibouti have warned that Red Sea tensions threaten trade, investment, energy supplies and food security, calling for de-escalation and freedom of navigation.
