Goobjoog Reporters, Mohamed Salad and Aweys Noor Aar on board the ship are reporting that the vessel is expected to dock at Mukala port of Yemen in forthcoming hours.
It 25th last month when Abdi Ali Farah, a well-known Somali businessman and chief executive officer (CEO) of Jubba General Trading Company has pledged to dispatch a cargo ship which intended to ferry Somalis from Yemen.
Speaking to Goobjoog News Farah said that he decided to help brotherly Somalis who were captivated by Yemen violence which cost hundreds of innocent lives.

The brawl claimed thousands of lives and displaced hundreds of thousands including Yemenis and Somali refugees who escaped the conflict and hardships in their country before civil war eruption in Yemen.
Since 1st April, 6789 of Somali refugees returned home by themselves with small boats as this ship marks the first ship loaded with Somalis to reach Somalia’s waters.
They accused the government of ‘’failing’’ to intervene the situation of the trapped citizens.
Life went from bad to worse for the Somalis living in Yemen after the federal government revealed that it is supporting the on-going Saudi-led military offensive against the Houthi rebels who are fighting to take over internationally recognized government.
