Logistics includes the processes of planning, implementing, and controlling the efficient, cost‐effective, and synchronized flow and storage of raw materials, inventory, finished goods, and related information, from point of origin to point of consumption and vice versa (as it concerns data, vessels, reverse logistics). While it initially emerged from the preparation and organization of military operations, logistics is now used to optimize issues as diverse and complex as corporate management, global trade, and a broad range of transport operations. Since logistics can be considered as the art of governing time–space relationships, it helps in exerting control over both flows and territories. Logistics is thus essential for geography, and it is also highly political.

Abstract:Research on Somali mobility and migration has predominantly focused on forced migration from Somalia and diaspora communities in Western Europe and North America, neglecting other experiences and destinations. This article traces the journeys of Somali traders from East Africa to China, mapping the growth of a transnational trading economy that has offered a stable career path to a few but a chance to scrape by for many others. Understandings of migration and mobility must encompass these precarious terrains, allowing for a richer examination of how individuals have navigated war, displacement, and political and economic change by investing in transnational livelihoods, not just via ties to the West, but through the myriad connections linking African economies to the Gulf and Asia.
