Djibouti police found 500 kg of cocaine disguised as flour in a shipment from Brazil – in what authorities said on Thursday was their biggest seizure of the drug.

Prosecutor Maki Omar Abdoulkader said the cocaine, with a street value of 1 billion Djibouti francs ($5.62 million), had been discovered at the main port – a major hub for the Horn of Africa.
