Once this major entrepot was closed down, most horn from eastern Africa was moved in the opposite direction to the coasts of Kenya. Somalia and Tanzania, to be loaded onto ships, or it was flown out from Addis Ababa and Khartoum. From these places, the great majority of it was taken to Yemen by nationals of these various African countries whose families often had originated from Yemen. By late 1990, Sanaa traders were paying the importers about $1,360 a kilo for the horn.
However. the amount of horn going into Yemen from 1984 to 1990 has decreased very sharply. In the early 1980s a minimum of 1,500 kilos were imported annually into the country, but by 1985 this figure had dropped probably to under 1,000 kilos and from 1986 to 1989 to less than 400 kilos per annum. By 1990, probably under 200 kilos were imported .
