More than 16 flights carrying stimulus plant khat have resumed their operation after disputes between Kenyan producers and Somali customers was resolved.

Somali traders transporting khat into the country have protested the decision by the Kenyan khat producers to increase the prices leading to the pause of the booming business for the last three days.

Sources have confirmed to Radio Dalsan that the two sides have reached consensus which resulted the resumption of the multimillion trade.
