Former Somali Prime Minister Mohamed Hussein Roble has reportedly been denied approval for his diplomatic passport to travel to South Africa, despite an invitation from the Somali community there.
According to sources, the decision to withhold the diplomatic passport came from the country’s top leadership.
As a result, Roble is expected to travel to South Africa using his Swedish passport instead.
This development highlights potential political tensions or bureaucratic hurdles within Somalia’s leadership.
Roble, who served as PM from 2020 to 2022, remains a significant figure in Somali politics, and this incident could have broader implications for his role and influence moving forward.
