In both the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) and Somaliland, the recognition and permission for displaced persons to engage in specific professional or wage-earning activities appear to be granted on a case-by-case basis. This is due to the absence of a comprehensive legal framework that explicitly addresses the employment rights of displaced individuals across all sectors. Consequently, the ability to work in certain professions or sectors may depend on the policies of relevant professional bodies and government authorities, rather than a clear, overarching legal provision. This approach reflects the evolving nature of legal protections for displaced persons in both regions, with decisions being made based on the circumstances and needs of the individual and the regulatory framework in place at the time.
