Well u seem to lack protocol, who uses a diplomatic passport for a non state sponsored trip?

lol I'm talking about how to get the hell out of there not exactly how instead of having this crazy trial and police reports your even saying getting a somali passport is harder than I thought lol

Not just the politicians including the regional officials have it(thought the foreing ministry has asked the cabinet to limit it)but also business men have it too. Many sponsor the somali embassies in exchange of getting diplomatic immunity to avoid tax.

Anyways i was making a point so take it easy.

What Tax are u talking about? Arooy i dont know who u have been talking to but Somali passport Diplomatic or Mon Diplomatic are all useless. Plus i technically no longer work for the Government so it would be stupid of me to use it. I now my represent my Birth nation here now

Cosob, next time make sure to get two passports; Most of the EU countries allow that; one for visiting Israel, Taiwan etc and one for visiting other countries. I think you can also call your passport issuing authority and ask them to send a new passport. This can be done quickly; they have your electronic signature and photo; in many countries, it is delivered two days later.

Advice from a constant traveller.

P.s. losing your passport does not make you technically stateless. That is the somali mindset.
