Mogadishu (HOL) – Somalia has released 33 Iranian fishermen and sailors imprisoned in the country, Ali Gholampour, Iran's ambassador to Kenya and Somalia, reported on Sunday. The move signals a thaw in the frosty relations between Iran and Somalia and comes amid a broader crackdown on illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing within Somali waters.
