I agree wallahi. Somalis are treated as a joke by society. We can be ridiculed in the west as they know, we won't be taking further action. A friend of mine's family member had something happen serious to her in hospital due to lack of communication from the so called professionals. I've told her to take their ass to court. Until we do something abt it, nothing will change.
