Bantu Street Children Crisis

[𐒁𐒚𐒒𐒂𐒘𐒂𐒗 𐒎𐒚𐒗𐒗𐒒]

If you pay attention to reports about street children in Somalia, you will see that most are Bantus. Somalia really needs to do something about the serious poverty and broken family structures in the Bantu community.

Other Somali groups have orphans but they always have at least one family to look after them. Meanwhile, you will see Bantu children roaming the streets alone and being homeless. They didn't come from thin air, they were abandoned and somehow, they ended up thousands of KMs away in Bosaso etc.

These children are in danger of being exploited, trafficked and recruited by criminals such as AlShaydan. If Somalia's government is serious about tackling security problems, the biggest crisis we have is thousands of homeless Bantus. Nothing good comes out of homelessness.

Employ their men in the SNA, demolish IDP settlements and move them back into their farming villages. It's unacceptable to see any homeless person, let alone CHILDREN.

This community also needs to be studied to find out why they don't have the same social network that provides protection and housing for orphans.

Even in Mogadishu you will notice the same problem, these poor children have nothing to do, so they numb their pain by sniffing glue.

I saw a video from Kismayo of a Bantu street child fixing a car.

There are plenty of poor Somali children who do work, but the Bantu community seems to have no issue with abandoning their children to live on the streets.

It's very strange. They clearly had a mother and a father, so where the hell are they?

Bantus lag behind both economics and education (due to lack of money to go to schools) and that contributes to their over representation in homelessnes and other problems.

That's very true.

There are very poor ethnic Somalis who literally die from thirst but their children are not on the streets.

Bantus have a different culture and I think they need to be studied, perhaps they are individualistic and don't care to help one another.

Bantus are smarter than Somali's. Look at Bantu countries. Bantu countries are cleaner, safer with better education. They struggle in Somalia because they look different to Somalis. I say deport them all back to their Bantu homelands. So that they can have a better future.

both somali lamagoodles and bantus are all poor. but bantus are disenfranchised which makes their problem worse. for example child labor is an issue in konfuria but since bantus are disenfranchised they have more street kids than somalis. they have much less diaspora.

My friend says they don't think for the future and burn the little money the get the same day instead of saving some. Can't confirm that since i wasn't exposed to them that much but he did.

Bantu clans must only exist in name, because they do not function as a collective.

I have never heard of Somalis abandoning their children, even when they are dying of hunger and thirst. Meanwhile Bantu nations like Kenya have a big homeless children crisis.

Somalis are better as a society.

That's interesting.

I think we often forget what mental trauma they must have from years of slavery and other subjugation.

Communities that have been enslaved and robbed of their original identity and culture suffer from a lot of societal ills. Perhaps that's why their children end up on the streets- every man for themselves/dog eat dog culture.

That's probably what many westerners would say about ethnic somalis too. After all ethnic somalis also struggle with poverty and there's grown ass men spending their entire money on qat.
This is a common racist stereotype that many ethnicities faced. The truth is that someone who is already poor will not have the same financial wisdom as someone who has a better education and opportunities. If your life is doomed and you don't even know if you eill be alive next month then it's likely you would spend whatever little money you get before it's too late

lack of diaspora means lack of remittance. its also why d&m are overrepresented in beggars. and somalia is expensive for a 3rd world country because of remittance. even if their parents work its still hard. and they dont have cousins/uncles/aunts sending money every month.
expensive life + low salary + no remittance. imagine being an orphan in that situation.

Tbh i think most of these kids are orphans. Somalia also have a big homeless crisis, let's keep it real, there are many homeless kids from major clans

But anyway i would agree that Nairobi child homelessness problem is probably way worse than in Somalia

Bantus if used well could be a bonus. Look at Rwanda ruled by our fellow cushite kin the Tutsi. The Tutsi's know how to use the bantus.

We should be packing the bantus in our army to fight for Somalia. They are HUGE in number. Get them to build and clean the country.

Sometimes their parents are khatheads and send their kids to work only for them to buy khat. Ive seen this personally and was shocked they have like 4 kids working per family

Maybe im racist but i dont feel safe around these people.

Funny thing is every day im realizing what whites feel.
