DP World's Steadfast Operations in Berbera Amidst Geopolitical Tensions

Amidst escalating regional tensions, Dubai-owned DP World maintains its operations at Berbera port in Somaliland, adhering to existing agreements despite political upheaval.

Somalia's government announced on Monday it would annul agreements with the UAE, citing sovereignty concerns. This decision follows accusations that the UAE assisted a separatist leader's evacuation from Yemen through Somalia.

DP World's commitment to providing economic benefits to Somaliland persists, even as the geopolitical landscape shifts. The UAE's influence grows with Israel's recent recognition of Somaliland's independence, highlighting Abu Dhabi's strategic diplomacy.
