Reliable Security in Mogadishu?

Postby Mark Zolo » Tue Jan 29, 2013 6:04 pm

Hi,
I'm travelling to Mogadishu next month and cannot find reliable information on private security for hire.
Does anybody have any contacts?

Contact Bashir @ The Peace Hotel - just google it

The most expensive guys there and probably the most reliable. I hope you aren't paying for all this.

My budget is not that much. Around $200-300 a day for security.

It may be cheaper to exude radiation
I know the law. And I have spent my entire life in its flagrant disregard.

If you find something in that range can you PM me? When I was there jan/feb of last year things were still spendy. Maybe now that things have calmed the rates are going down. Good luck!

I have some Somali contacts who might be able to help. PM me your email and I'll put you in touch.
