A phone seller in Libya finally got his Nokia mobile phones in 2024, but he ordered them way back in 2010. The phones took 16 years to arrive because of the civil war that started in the country and the mess that followed. The devices sat in warehouses all this time because shipping routes broke down, customs offices stopped working properly, and security became a major problem after the war began in 2011.
The shopkeeper had ordered these Nokia phones when the brand was still one of the biggest names in mobile phones. But once the civil war started, everything fell apart. The shipment got stuck and nobody knew where it was for years. Eventually, people just forgot about the order completely.
