Somaliland ports body denies Djibouti claim on Berbera staff training
The Somaliland Ports Authority wants Djibouti's port agency to withdraw its claim and publish a correction.
11 senior staff at Berbera Port were said by Djibouti's port authority to have completed six months of engineering and operational training in Djibouti. The Somaliland Ports Authority has rejected that account and called it false.
In a statement posted on its official X account, the authority demanded that the Djibouti Ports & Free Zones Authority (DPFZA) withdraw the claim and issue a public correction. The dispute centres on the training record of port personnel at Berbera.
The packet does not report any further response from the DPFZA or any other body.
Why it mattersThe 11 senior Berbera Port staff named in the DPFZA claim are the people whose training record is now disputed in public.
