AA2-00241

The claim is rejected because the panel found the claimant lied about travel, failed to establish identity on a balance of probabilities due to lack of acceptable documentation and implausible testimony, and alternatively Somaliland is a stable area to which he could safely return, so he is not a Convention refugee nor a person in need of protection.
