What's TK's policy on firearms? Does the Kalashnikov travel with you in the cabin or do you pick it up on arrival?

I've read your amazing TRs and I know that you are trying to visit every country but in all seriousness would you actually go to Mogadishu specifically? There are safer ways to visit Somalia.

I'd probably just do a touch-and-go.. if it were possible. I had gotten a Somaliland visa several years ago in Ethiopia but then wasn't able to rearrange our flights to make the trip to Hargeisa.

brilliant idea
Mogadishu is one of the VERY FEW travel opportunities I would reject outright. I'd class it with... Baghdad, Kandahar, FATA (Pakistan) levels of silliness.
On the other hand, Somaliland is supposed to be quite nice ... but the way in is via Addis or Djibouti.
"WARNING: Mogadishu is regarded as the most lawless and dangerous city on Earth and is currently experiencing a major food and refugee crisis. It is highly dangerous for leisure or tourism."
