Somali woman talks about how life in Garowe improved since the deportation of Oromos

[𐒁𐒚𐒒𐒂𐒘𐒂𐒗 𐒎𐒚𐒗𐒗𐒒]

Where are all the 'waa miskeen' crowd at?

1. People are no longer afraid of being robbed
2. They were so large in number that they outnumbered the ethnic Somalis who used to sell and shop at the market.
3. They would threaten Southern Somali beggars and say only they are allowed to beg.
4. People would avoid alleyways, lest they get robbed by dadkaan.

etc.

I also heard from other people that they would steal and demand fruit/veg from market stalls.

All in all, life has improved and nobody wants them back.

This is the capital of Oromia region, a lush greeny region with excellent soil suitable for agriculture and livestock rearing but they all want to flock to a semi-arid region.

Nah the point is they have better lands, why not stay there

 

[Colonelcfs]

One Oromo told me he came to Puntland for Sadaqa it got me pissed off alhamdulillah 90% of them have been deported

 

[Khaem]

Keep the borders shut #Ethiopack

Better land doesn’t equal more opportunity their land is overpopulated not everyone is gonna be able to get jobs some of them have no choice but to leave

If our roles were swapped and somalis lived in their green lands we wouldve been a nuclear superpower

How does our regions have far better opportunities then theres does? This what I find so odd since they move to Galbeed and Somalia at such high rates. Also Somalia is seen as a failed state but Ethiopia isn't seen as one so why are they failing at creating jobs.

A portion of them are paid to go into Somalia and act as spies.

Somalis have a history of trade and we are connected to the outside world, always have been. That's why you'll see Oromos copying our attire and following us around, not the other way around.

That's generous of you. I think most ajnabi that loiter on the streets are spies/argagixiso. Out of all the countries in the world they just so happen to choose ours, with its terrible reputation to 'beg' on the streets. Nobody makes a better spy than someone who most people refuse to even look out of fear or not wanting to give money.

It was quite common in the ancient world to use such tactics, you even have the CIA using it in certain operations.

I don't think they have better land than us, otherwise they wouldn't be fleeing left and right from the place.

 

[Kamaaludeen Al Reewin]

Next they should kick out them bloody Eelaays, then garowe would become the new California.

 

[Sigmundd]

Alhamdullilah to all those that were causing chaos in Puntland being deported. All regions must follow Puntland. No is no they can flourish in their own Oromo regions They have no business being in Somaliland/Somalia.

The first picture doesn't really look much different than Nugaal in Puntland

The 2nd picture looks like a lake similar to Lake Cuun

Oromos are mainly pastoralists or agro-pastoralists, so a good portion of their land is green pasture that is actually more suitable for livestok grazing than intensive agriculture. Especially the southern-west regions.

But it's actually the lack of trade, private sector activity, investments and instability that hamper them their region that drives them to Somaliland and Puntland in search of economic oppurtunity.

 

[Idilinaa]

We need to see the crack down of Oromo/Ethiopian undocumented migration as simply a security measure, not part of some anti-Oromo stance.

These people don't come to Puntland with malicious intent, they come to seek a way out of poverty. So they shouldn't be unfairly punished for that.

You see this when they interview one of them:

Ismail Yahye, who works for the Save the Children campaign, used to be a Somaliland street kid himself. He despairs at the pipe dreams they are fed before relocating from Ethiopia—many leave home believing the rumors about how life is so much better in Somaliland.
