 MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - Several hundred people Friday greeted the first ship to dock at the main port in Somalia's capital in 11 years, the latest sign the city's Islamic fundamentalist rulers are trying to restore confidence after more than a decade of anarchy.
The 800-ton vessel arrived from Kenya and was carrying tea, building materials and medical supplies for relief organizations working in the country.
"Mogadishu International Seaport Authority has started to unload goods from a commercial ship," said Abdirahman Kolly, the port's long time superintendent. "From now on, security is adequately provided to protect the traffic of commercial and humanitarian supplies to this port."
