Traditional postage
In early 1991, the Somali Postal Service had 100 post offices, with a total staff of between 1,665 to 2,165 personnel. The national postal infrastructure was later completely destroyed during the civil war, with Somali Postal officially suspending operations in October 1991. Residents subsequently had to turn to traditional methods of dispatching parcels and letters. They also communicated via handwritten letters sent through acquaintances and mobile and email messaging services.
Postage stamps continued to be produced illegally internationally during the war, although their subject matter suggests they were designed for external collectors.
Somali Postal Service
In November 2013, international postal services officially resumed.
