Relaunch Ĭoncurrently, the Somali Transitional Federal Government began preparations to revive the national postal service. Emirates Post's mail transit hub at the Dubai International Airport was then for a time used to forward mail from Somalia to the UAE and various Western destinations as well as to route mail destined for the country. In order to fill the vacuum, a partially reconstituted Somali Post signed an agreement in 2003 with the United Arab Emirates' Emirates Post to process mail to and from Somalia. They also communicated via handwritten letters sent through acquaintances and mobile and email messaging services. Residents subsequently had to turn to traditional methods of dispatching parcels and letters. The national postal infrastructure was later completely destroyed during the civil war, with Somali Postal officially suspending operations in October 1991. In early 1991, the Somali Postal Service had 100 post offices, with a total staff of between 1,665 to 2,165 personnel.
