Editing Kismayo (section)

== Port and economy ==
The port of Kismayo is Jubaland's principal commercial harbour. Imported fuel and manufactured goods enter the country through the city. Livestock from the interior is transported to Kismayo for sale or export, while produce from the Juba River districts supplies the city's markets. Fishing and port labour provide further employment.<ref name="jubaland-economy"/>

During the Tanoan period, customs income was placed under the supervision of the African command. Warehouses near the port stored military supplies, while local contractors maintained port facilities and roads. Forced labourers from the Kismayo concentration camp were assigned to some of this work.<ref name="jubaland-economy"/><ref name="jubaland-camp"/>

After 2024, the transitional government began reviewing port contracts and customs records. Separate investigations examined land taken by the former administration and the use of detainee labour. Officials accused of transferring port revenue to Tanoan command offices were also investigated.<ref name="jubaland-economy"/>
