Of course it is not accepted in the West.

I was thinking more along the lines of Kenya or the UAE.

Yeah you can open an account with a Somali Passport in Kenya. That's what most guys do.
I once saw a Somali business man(I think waa Hawiye) in Nairobi he was legit. He had residence permit on his passport and the Kenyan authorities were not harassing him at all he was engaged in businesses as far as South Sudan.

Unlike some Somalis who live like Mexicans in Kenya.
Funny is some Somalis living in Kenya gaining fake ID's and cant even try learning the Swahili language.

Kenya and the Gulf operate on bribes; that is how their society functions. Anything can be done if you are willing to fork up some cash

I would not worry over something as small as opening up a bank account in Nairobi. You can get away with murder there at the right price


I am,

Nowadays, you can open Bank Accounts Online with most of the major banks who have an offshore branch in a tax haven country with any passport. Your account will be managed from these tax haven countries and bypasses the regulations and rules of their countries of origin. Offcourse, if you hold a Somali passport, they will check that it has nothing to do with Alshabab and terrorism.

To hide big gains I made on an offshore brokerage. :mrgreen: Either via Kenya or maybe one of those Caribbean islands or Liechtenstein. I'll look around.
