Avoiding Getting Kidnapped in Somalia

Avoiding Getting Kidnapped in Somalia


1. Only hire niccas who have a lot to lose if you are kidnapped.

2. Trust no one. If it feels funny, run.

3. Avoid stating your departure or arrival.

4. Hire a multiclan escort & preferably not the same characters all the time.

5. Don't be stingy on the khat.

6. Spread the wealth around. Don't just take care of one subclan/clans etc.

7. Pay the Isbaaro even if you got more firepower than them.

Avoid traveling with foreigners. Let them get their own security.

Yep, My friend from UK was beaten and robbed @ a TFG checkpoint just yesterday.

Awahab, hire some non-qhat chewing wadaads, they are much cheaper and more loyal.

I've never heard of Somali diaspora getting kidnapped in Somalia, except perhaps with Xamar as an exception - but that's political.

LODOON and MONK,

You can get kidnapped for ransom or to settle another kidnapping. Its worse if you are not from the area.


Waryaa,

Which checkpoint ? Never resist or act funny. I had a little squabble in North Mog three weeks ago. It was huffing and puffing but the TFG check point commander realized that my staff were not going to back down. He also realized that we would catch him on the Southside when its payday.

AbdiWahab252 what took place in Galmudug under a working Administration is shame to beesha iyo Somalia oo dhan.

How can State Bodyguards from Galmudug Kidnapped people?

On The other hand we have your kin in Al Shabaab asking ransom to return a dead person to their Family.

Somalian,


It is a MAJOR same. The fact we have aid workers kidnapped is SHAME. The fact we have hundreds of sailors being held hostage by pirates is a SHAME.


Did they free the Danish family held by pirates in Baari ?

Our Coast Guards are defending our seas. But Kidnapping your own visitors who came under your protection is a shame. They came to Galmudug to help your kin and in return Galmudug State Bodyguards Kidnapped them and are asking for Money?
