2015-02-01
BERBERA, Somalia(land) -- Somaliland's separatist administration in northwestern Somalia has denied UN Monitors access to Berbera seaport according to independent sources, Garowe Online reports.

UN experts along with Ethiopian consular officials were refused entry into the port after a ship allegedly carrying weapons docked a few days ago.High-ranking officials in Somaliland government reportedly issued the order to bar visiting UN monitors from the seaport.

Somaliland Interior Minister Ali Mohamed Waran Adde earlier last week told the media that MV Shakir was loaded by local businessmen from Port Sudan but later he confirmed the security officials found three armored vehicles, 10 AK47 rifles and ammunition inside the ship. Ever since in depth investigations have been underway and no findings were released to the media.
So is someone canoodling with the Shaboobs or is the Somaliland National Militia doing an upgrade...
