A Somalia eSIM is a virtual SIM card that connects you to Somali mobile networks (Hormuud, Telesom) without a physical card. Plans start at ~$10 for 1 GB.
Do you really need an eSIM? Somalia has no free EU roaming. Warning: The security situation in Somalia is highly unstable. Check government travel advisories before traveling.
