Hate it or love it, khat is basically the staple food of Somalis. It helps them to forget the state they live in and ignore their long term plight. I prefer we kept it, it is damage control considering how badly the khat ban in Europe has negatively impacted us.

Society would have more hope if khat was banned and needs to be ASAP

You don't just ban something and expect life to improve instantly, have you ever met an addict?
It would need to be replaced but given the poverty and lack of jobs back home, that won't be easy. Khat is cultural, much like the after-work drinks for Cadaans or the Shisha of the Arabs.

 

[Prime Minister]

The fault lies with Somaliland because due to its lifting of the ban, khat can be smuggled into the rest of Somalia so lifting it is better cause it can be controlled and regulated as opposed to hidden and spread unaware.

Khat will facilitate trade which allows movement and there’s a lockdown for a reason so it makes no sense to lift this is a big mistake.

As if Puntland doesn't have borders with Ethiopia and DDSI which is where khat comes from
PS Buhoodle has been supplying both SL and PL with smuggled khat since the ban cuz it's a border town and neither administrations control it.

Yes but Somaliland is all over Buuhoodle district so anything coming out of the town passes through their "loosely controlled" area

It’s khat comes from Kenya like the rest of south Somalia not Ethiopia which is hard to smuggle from.

Still it's not official by PL government.
