So, Do you guys Somalis in the UK have organizations that represent your community? In Minnesota, we roll strong and raise our concerns all the way up to Minnesota house and Congress if we need to because we have representative in the state assemblies(Senate & House).
- Use the British democracy to raise the banner of your people.
- Don't join the gangs, but be part of the solutions.
- Stay in school and respect your parents.
- Don't share secrets and shortcomings of your community with others, information such as how Somalis are proud and don't want to intermingle with other ethnic groups etc. Major source of an issue comes when Somalis date outside their race and stupidly talk about their relatives and Somalis regarding the relationship disapprovals.
Finally, Somalis are their worst enemies, Many parents choose welfare checks over the safety, security and good culture of their children by staying put in a gang infested area when they can go back to Somalia to address behavioral issues of their kids. Specially Isaq and Abgaal, predominantly the Somalis who live there have good opportunities to send their Kids back home.
May Allah help our kinsmen survive the trials of living in challenging cultures outside Somalia.
