Reuters published on 13 January 2026 an article titled "DP World Says Somaliland Port Operations Continue Amid Regional Tensions."
Dubai-owned ports and logistics DP World said its operations were continuing at Berbera port in breakaway Somaliland following an escalation of tension between the UAE and Saudi Arabia in nearby Yemen. In addition, Somalia's government in Mogadishu said it was annulling all agreements with the UAE, including port deals, although it does not control Hargeisa's deal with DP World.
