The purpose of this report is to provide relevant information for the assessment of applications for international protection, including refugee status and subsidiary protection. Moreover, the report is intended to inform the update of EUAA’s country guidance on Somalia (2025).
The report provides an update on and mapping of the security situation at both country and regional level, namely for the 18 administrative regions foreseen by the Somali provisional constitution as they existed before 1991. The report builds upon preceding EUAA COI reports, notably the Somalia: Security Situation from February 2023, but also Somalia: Security Situation, Actors, Targeted profiles, and Somalia: Key socio-economic indicators, which were published in the period July-September 2021.
