    NEW AFRICA BUSINESS NEWS (NABN) Freetown, Sierra Leone- Somalia has conceded on an exchange marketing agreement with Ethiopia that allows them to send abroad fish to their neighbors in the transaction for Khat (miraa). The transaction is a portion of a landmark bilateral pact approved by the administrators of the two nations on Monday, June 21st, 2021.

    The consensus seems to be part of a handshake between the neighboring nations that have not been glimpsing eye to eye on numerous diplomatic matters for the past decade. In a bid to start the strategy, Somalia has already transferred to Ethiopia a consignment of 5,000 tones of fish.

    Specialists have let out, the new pact, other than improving bilateral bilateral relations between the two countries will also stimulate growth in the Horn of Africa by creating employment opportunities. This progress arrives even as Somalia stays difficult about the denial it exacted on Kenya heeding the khat businesses between the two countries.

    Somalia’s administration in March last year banned Kenyan flights transporting khat, popularly known as miraa, into the country, associating the outcome as part of its Covid-19 contain criteria.

    Upholding the motion, leaders in Somalia asserted, the consumption of miraa hinders social distancing amongst its users since it is often used for recreation and socialization purposes. Prior to the ban, Kenya utilized to transport up to 50 tones of miraa to Somalia on daily basis rated at 269.5 million.

    Nonetheless, five months later in August of 2020, Somalia authorities illustrated a bunch of rigid circumstances which they argued had to be fulfilled before enabling Kenya to begin again miraa exportation into the nation.

    Miraa is eaten by nibbling the plant’s leaves. The plant is said to have elated and enabling effects on its addicts. It is also lawfully used for ancestral objectives in some nations in East Africa such as Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, and Djibouti, plus some Middle East countries such as Yemen and Eritrea.
