He bought some Nokia phones in 2010 and they have only now been sent to him

Libya has been torn by civil war, with even the most basic services disrupted to the point of becoming unusable.

A good example is the story of a merchant Tripoli cell phones, recently received a shipment of Nokia push-button phones that I had requested in 2010before the start of the civil war, reports Odditycentral.

In a video that has circulated on social media, the anonymous seller can be seen removing the old mobile phones from a red plastic bag and rhetorically asking if they are phones or historical artifacts.

Your order included high-end models from the late 2000ssuch as Communicator-like devices and sleek slider handhelds, all obsolete by today’s standards, he says. Odditycentral.

The Libyan businessman’s order was delayed due to the 2011 civil war, which paralyzed the country’s logistics and customs services. Like many other packages, the phones simply gathered dust in some warehouse until someone discovered them recently and decided to send them to their recipient, he says Odditycentral.

Ironically, both the seller and the recipient of the phones are located in Tripoli, a few kilometers awaybut the order took 16 years to complete. The story went viral on social media, with most users declaring themselves shocked by how conflicts can seriously disrupt daily life and business operations.
