Recent news impact

No high-signal, recently enacted policy or acute security/migration-control change (within the last ~45 days) was detected that would clearly and immediately worsen or improve Somalia’s short-term relocation outlook. The available references are either general procedure guidance or longer-running structural constraints; they do not provide a clear recent trigger for a short-term news-driven adjustment.
