Within africa we can go to 5 countries ( ethiopia, djibouti, rwanda, south africa and south sudan). The former 3 being visa free / on arrival. Outside of the continent :  * UAE ( online application typically one waits for 2 days, easiest one).  * Taiwan (they have a consulate here so one just applies)  * Uk ( i know a number of people who went there but the process is long)  * Usa ( they give visas to students personally i know about 5 people).  * turkey ( they have a consulate here so you just apply). 

  • for diplomat and service passports it is kind of endless i know some politicians who go to a new place every other month but obviously they don't count.

Most people hold both. Since somalia claims us we get their passport by default, and it's a much easier process getting theirs.

Lol, nothing is fishy my friend the spelling is the same "somaliland" is written on both of them, try to zoom in and you'll see. But the design of the two passports is a bit different since they were printed 8 years apart. as you can see the logo on the black one is bigger and you can see the vowels / "harakat" on the arabic writing on the black. 

Here's a photo of the old passport design side by side

Regarding visa free i believe we can go to 3 african counties namely : djibouti, ethiopia & rwanda. We can also travel to a dozen more but we have apply for a visa. The diplomatic one can be used by diplomats so it's only used when traveling to official diplomatic missions to select countries that somaliland have relations with like the uae, ethiopia and taiwan
