Up to late 1987, most of the horns taken from poached rhinos in eastern Africa, over 90% originating in Tanzania, were sent to Burundi from where they were exported to Arabia, especially Dubai. From there, these horns were sent either to Sanaa in Yemen, or to eastern Asia (which will be described in a later section of this paper). According to confidential reports from businessmen in the Arabian Gulf, in 1985 and 1986, traders in Dubai were paying on average from $500 to $700 a kilo for the horn. By the time it reached Sanaa, dealers were paying about $800 to $ 1,000 a kilo for it.
