Our Journey
SomKen Consultancy was founded in 2016 by a group of seasoned professionals who had worked extensively across Somalia’s most volatile regions.
We recognized a critical gap in the market—many organizations were operating in high-risk environments without accurate, localized, or timely security support.
Therefore we created to bridge that gap by offering grounded, field-based expertise rooted in the cultural, tribal, and political realities shaping security in East Africa.
What began as a small advisory unit operating from Mogadishu quickly evolved into a full-spectrum security consultancy.
We grew by staying close to the field—supporting NGOs in Baidoa, advising logistics firms in Kismayo, and helping international contractors secure remote operations in Hirshabelle and Galmudug.
We are proud to be not just security consultants, but long-term partners helping our clients succeed safely in some of the world’s most challenging environments.
