BerberaSeaport in Somalia, with the only sheltered harbour on the south side of the Gulf of Aden; population (1990) 70,000. It is in a strategic position on the oil route and has a deep-sea port, completed in 1969. The port, which was the capital of British Somaliland until 1941, is the terminus of roads from Hargeysa and Burko, and an airport now adds to its accessibility. Berbera exports sheep, gum arabic, frankincense, and myrrh. Its seaborne trade is chiefly with Aden which lies in Yemen 240 km/150 mi to the north. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Armed looters in Mogadishu and Berbera reportedly made off with more than 15,000 tonnes of relief rations. High Commission on Refugees assisted me with the rest of my journey, which included another plane flight to the steamy port of Berbera in the north; from there a UNHCR Land Cruiser drove across the entire width of northern Somalia, first to Hargeisa, where I spent the night, and then finally, to Tug Wajale, where I slept in a sleeping bag inside a drafty tent on the freezing windy plateau. In Phase II, operations would be extended into northern Somalia, based on the port cities of Berbera and Bossasso, then moved to Hargeisa and Garoe. |
