One of the problems is insecurity, and that will be your biggest
problem, I guess. Most urgently you need a safe place to stay,
after you arrive.

From what I hear you also need bodyguards to walk about. They are very
cheap apparently. They have guns and act as a deterrent. I suggest you
contact someone from Nairobi - stray a few days there and find out
someone.

I think it may be wiser to use a bodyguard with local knowledge.
Perhaps all you need is just a clever guide, rather than a
bodyguard. But then I can't be sure, haven't been to Mogadishu.

You can always catch a flight from Dubai.

Somaliland is save. Dubai to Hargeisa is around $300.

Good luck.
