She can't get Ethiopian Passport b/c of her links to the terrorist group ONLF. The documents she is seeking are related to security clearance. In the grand scheme of things, even though she could be eligible to get the documents under the Somaliland Citizenship laws. She could be denied b/c of her character, as someone who is not truthful and has links to outside groups that are known to be anti-Somaliland. Somalia's Passport is as good as a toilet paper when you are in Somaliland. No one recognise it, you can not travel with it from Airports and if you return with that Passport, you will be queening up in the Foreigners line which has a hefty fee for entry visa applied to it. Other restrictions also apply for example you cannot drive a car if you have Somalia's Passport, you cannot rent a stand alone house, you are forced to rent a hotel room, unless you have security clearance.
