When governance turns performative, absurdity becomes policy. Somalia’s Federal Government (FGS) has proven that it confuses control with leadership.
A misguided digital decree exposes a deeper constitutional rot. The FGS has introduced a mandatory eVisa for all foreign passport holders, including Somali dual citizens.
Under this new decree, travelers must obtain online approval before boarding flights to Somalia. Airlines are threatened with sanctions if they carry anyone without this digital permit.
A federal overreach that tramples the Constitution and exposes the fragile illusion of Somali unity.
At first glance, this seems routine, a move toward streamlined immigration. But beneath the surface lies something more troubling.
