As for the courts, passports will not make a difference. If the government wants to do so, they will simply ask neighboring countries, spaicaly our second capital nairobi, to not give these people visas or even arrist them. There also more and possible means of stopping them, navel blackade, no-fly zones, check pionts, communication cut off, stoping money wiring. Sense, some of these people are on the un's terrorist list, it would be easy force other countries to comply with this isolation of extremist.

Not necessarily. It is not in the neighbour countries best interest to cut off the courts (Mogadishu in essense). Trade is two way street. Other neighbouring countries also benefit from the quality of goods Somalia provides. For instance,according to Washington Post, Kenya exports about $250 million of khat annually. beating out tea exports as one of the county's most lucrative exports, according to the Kenyan government. Dozens of flights leave Nairobi's two major airports every day, transporting burlap sacks filled with khat to Somalia in a trade that is worth about $300,000 a day, according to Kenya's National Agency for the Campaign Against Drug Abuse.

 

Then there is the coal trade and rawhide and among other products. Many countries are taking advantage of the lack of central functioning govt. No i dont think other countries CAN afford to isolate Mogadishu and Court-controlled areas.

 

I was wondering whether this new passport would be only issued in Baydhabo and no other city? If so, how will Planders get their new passports? Would they have to go to Baidoa? If that is the case, what is to stop people from mogadishu getting theirs?

^^^The people of Mogadishu will get their passport like any other region. It is the courts who are saying they wont accept the passport. No one from the government side wants to deny them the right..
