Somalia’s finance minister has dashed hopes of restoring miraa (khat) trade between its traders and Kenyan farmers after recanting a statement he had made, saying it had been misunderstood.

On Monday, Dr Abdirahman Dualeh Beileh, had declared that “nobody is barred from importing khat” from “any source and by any means” as long as they acquired government licences and followed proper procedures.
