Answer
We are unable to provide direct consular assistance in Somalia. However, while we advise against all travel to Somalia except for the cities of Hargeisa and Berbera, to which we advise against all but essential travel, we have provided some consular assistance to British nationals who have travelled to Somalia through our embassy in Addis Ababa and High Commission in Nairobi. There have been three cases so far in this financial year. There were seventeen cases in 2013-14, eight in 2012-13, nine in 2011-12, and ten in 2010-11.
