Two flights carrying khat have landed in Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu, this morning, the BBC’s Ibrahim Aden in the city says.
This follows Somalia’s lifting of a ban on Kenyan flights carrying the herbal stimulants imposed just over a week ago.
It is not clear why the ban was first imposed – but it was lifted yesterday afternoon after talks between Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Somali counterpart Hassan Sheikh Mohamud.
These were held during a meeting of regional leaders in Mogadishu.
Thousands of Kenyans, including farmers and traders, have incurred millions of dollars in losses.
Khat has to be chewed fresh – and it speeds up the user’s mind and body, like a less powerful amphetamine.
During normal trading, more than 15 cargo flights full of khat arrive in Mogadishu every day from Kenya.
According to Somali anti-khat campaigner Abukar Awale, they bring in about 12,000 bags of khat a day, which have a total retail value of $400,000 (£298,000).
