Anyone planning to relocate to Somalia or is everyone too comfortable in the western world?

Sometimes I wonder if the West is really home for us long-term. You can have the money and comfort, but it slowly eats away at your deen. Raising kids here feels risky — schools and culture push everything un-Islamic, and no matter how long you live here, you never truly belong. Somalia isn’t perfect, but at least there’s adhan, deen, and real community. Anyone else ever think about going back?

Africa just fits us better — the food’s natural, the sun, the slower life, the adhan in the air. You live closer to family, closer to deen, and people still have that sense of community we’ve lost out here. Anyone else ever think about going back?
 
The majority of Somalis will never go back
You’re right, most probably won’t the comfort here is hard to let go of. But at the same time, with the way things are heading in the West socially, spiritually, even economically I feel like more people might start reconsidering sooner than we think. It only takes a few to move first before others start seeing it’s possible.

Yeah true. And honestly, if WW3 ever happened, I wonderwou ld Somalis actually go back home, or stay and end up getting conscripted to fight for countries that never saw them as their own?
Conscription wont happen if WW3 broke out, it would be a nuclear war. It is already escalating towards that direct. would end in hours or days.

even then would you rather die back home or in the west
Back home but that is not something thats in our control, only Allah knows where we will end up dying. Im already mentally disconnected from the west, I dont see this place as my home. This is why I want to Somalia to stabilize politically and safety-wise. A stable and developing Somalia would be enough for more diaspora Somalis to return home.
 
Why do Somalis always have this habit of everything being ‘we’. ‘We do better in Africa’…’We don’t fit in’…like if you want to go then just go nigga. Why everyone gotta go with you? You sound like Dabcasar when he said Trump should deport all Somalis just because he is a failure.

dabcasar was right
 
Are you insane? Nobody is getting deported wtf
Give it another decade when right wing populism becomes more pouplar and the economy in Europe starts to heavily decline. Then theyre gonna need a scapegoat to blame and considering how much somalis are in the public conscious of immigrant debates. Euro-somalis are definitely gonna be targeted.

nah they'll make life so uncomfortable for yall until you voluntarily start leaving. Thats how I think it will happen. Tensions are already high and if the fascist Deform party comes to power, it will only get worse. This is how Hitler came to power and deported Jews after using them as scapegoats for economic issues, well those that survived.
