About the time in Somalia
Sunrise today lands at 05:42 and sunset at 06:00 local time, giving 12h 17m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (6.00, 48.00) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Somalia.
Around 15,008,154 people live in Somalia, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Somalia day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 06:00–14:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
