What exactly is the real status of Somali passports? I've read that the transitional government established an official passport office in 2002, but that shops in Somalia and Kenya were still selling the old passports for anywhere from $25 to $100 as recently as late 2005. Is that still the case? How does the government intend to implement this new passport plan of theirs? If I'm missing something that you think is obvious about this, please forgive my ignorance. I hope you all stay safe in this current war that's at your doorstep. Best regards, Dbar
