Somaliland: Dilemma which passport to hold

[Jacaylbaro]

The people of Somaliland face an intriguing dilemma: which passport to hold? Somaliland declared its independence from the country of Somalia 17 years ago. Now Somaliland has its own flag, its own national anthem and its own passport. But the international community refuses to recognize the breakaway region -- which means its passport isn't recognized either.

 

What's more, Somaliland's constitution forbids its citizens to hold a passport from Somalia. This catch-22 has spawned a black market, as Richard Lough discovered on the streets of Hargeisa.

First time I came across the so-called passport of Somali land was at Addis Gegideeda dayuuradaha. Elderly fellow oo wata ayay u diidanayeen inuu duulo. He was actually convincing the authorities that this document is accepted by the Ethiopian authorities. Meeshii baa iigu danbeysay.

 

True story this.
