Several Killed In Suicide Car Bomb Attack In Somalia
Somalia has banned Kenyan flights bringing stashes of the herbal stimulant khat into the country in the Horn of Africa.
Khat—also known as miraa—is consumed widely in Somalia but is grown
in neighboring Ethiopia and Kenya. The leafy plant is chewed as an
after-meal stimulant purported to make consumers more alert, though the
drug is a controlled substance in the United Kingdom, where its
possession was proscribed by law in 2014. Get the magazine, the app and full web access from $1 a week
The temporary ban was announced on Monday by Somali Civil Aviation
Minister Ali Ahmed Jangali. No reason was given for the suspension, but
Jangali did deny that it was due to Somalia hosting a meeting on
Saturday of the regional Intergovernmental Authority on Development
(IGAD). The minister simply told the BBC that the prohibition was due to “some situations” but did not elaborate further.
The decision has provoked a strong reaction from several of Somalia’s semi-autonomous regions, including Puntland.
A spokesman for the Puntland regional administration has stated that
the ban “does not concern Puntland state,” while the suspension has also
been criticized in Somaliland.
Chewing khat produces feelings of euphoria as well as making people
more alert, but the drug can also have several harmful side-effects,
including insomnia, high blood pressure and anxiety. Khat is not
considered to be a “seriously addictive drug” by the World Health
Organization, but can produce mild forms of dependency in some users.
Khat was criminalized in the U.K.
—despite the British Treasury benefiting from £2.5 million ($3.3
million) per annum from taxes on the plant—after pressure from the
Somali diaspora community, which claimed that the drug was negatively
impacting upon families and preventing Somalis from integrating into
British society. The drug has already been banned in the United States,
Canada and Germany.
