Well, a resume, a phone conversation, a look at any code you've posted online, and a review of sites/apps you've worked on would paint a pretty good picture. We might ask for references not so much on character (though that too), but to know what problems they experienced in working with you at that distance and given the constraints you list.

Bottom line, your location and its limitations would not inherently eliminate you. If we were hiring and wanted to move forward with you as the lead candidate, we'd also need to check with our attorneys for tax and legal consequences of sending payments to Somalia. But presuming those issues could be resolved satisfactorily, you being in Somalia would not be an insuperable obstacle .
