bbc went to somali ghetto in sweden, shocked

Honestly, the girl speaking is straight lying. She just wants people to respect her and think she cool for growing up in the "trenches". I'm guessing they couldn’t find anyone else, so they put her on. I was born in Rinkeby, and I still have cousins living there. She’s right that some families there are struggling, poverty is real, the housing is poor, and back when I lived there, we had about seven people sleeping in one room.
But claiming people have to turn to crime because of poverty? That’s just wrong. Sweden actually offers decent opportunities especially in education. If you keep your head down and focus, you can succeed. Around the late 2010s, when Rinkeby really started getting rough, one of my cousins got pulled into that lifestyle. It got so bad that he had to stay in England with my family for a month, and then in Somalia for a year. As soon as he returned to Sweden, he was arrested. That period was the really bad era and basically everyone was dying including even my own family friends that I known from birth. Genuinely I was listening from England they done turned the place into a war zone.
But the rest of my family stayed focused, studied hard, and they’re all doing well. At the end of the day, it’s about personal choices. There’s still food on the table she’s exaggerating the situation way too much.
As for Rinkeby today it’s calmed down a lot. I was just there last year. It’s a chill area now, with lots of football pitches for kids and a large Muslim community. The major violence these days isn’t really coming from Rinkeby it’s more the result of conflicts between criminal networks full of Arab and Kurdish groups elsewhere. They've fully resorted to straight using grenades and bombing houses. Push the propaganda onto them, she gotta chill on the Somalis.
 
🤣If a sharp articulate Halimo with great points was interviewed they would've probably never released it, because yaa Soomaali u quuro good PR lol.

They are so good at finding individuals who they know will further ku istaag the Somali rep bilaa naxariis like this individual :pacspit: man the kaarto these guys play in la fahmo jeclaan laha.


Also, the subtitles aren’t doing her mother justice. I wonder if they left some parts out on purpose because she was going in too hard for their liking.:farmajoyaab:



She sounds like She's under 18, not putting much thought into her words or the impact they might have, especially given the times we’re in and the fact that it’s the BBC conducting the interview.

When engaging with mainstream media, what we really need are lineups that make certain groups seethe and rip their hair out in anger, because the people being interviewed are too clued-up and fully aware of the dirty media war being waged against us.

I’d rather see them seethe and accuse us of being calculated, media-savvy “snakes” who understand the media game well enough to hide their true intentions in order to protect their community, while the ones being interviewed also make us look good to the average viewer, than watch out-of-pocket kids speak carelessly to the media and create more problems on top of the ones we already have.

Poverty is such a cop out answer. Growing up my family and I lived in the worst neighborhood in San Diego that was riddled with poverty, gangs, drugs, and violence. We were on every type of government assistance you could think of. You know what we did? We pulled ourselves out of that poverty and now we own a beautiful house in the suburbs and me and my younger sister go to one of the best universities in the country on full rides.

What also helped is that my parents were extremely strict with who I could hang out with and was clear I could not play in the apartment without them being able to see me so I couldn’t come across bad influences

I've noticed you often take shots at Somalis, and this isn't the first time.

You've even mentioned in the past that you're half Cad Cad, if I'm not mistaken.

It's not a good look. Just like you and any reasonable person, would be against making unprovoked comments about your own people, the same respect should be extended to others.

Let's keep it respectful.

Rinkeby is not even the worst place in Stockholm, the gang war stopped in 2020. Somalis are being presented as the face of the gang crime in Sweden, which is far from the truth. Carabta, kurds, assyrians and balkans run the biggest gangs and ship the drugs into Sweden.

Sweden called in the national army due to the beef caused by Kurdish fox and his enemies.

This girl stupidly agreed to be filmed, all for nothing.
Exactly, especially those Kurds (most of these Middle Eastern drug dealers and other high profile criminals in European countries are of Kurdish origin), Lebanese and Maghrebis.

Apparently one of the biggest rival gang leader in Sweden is a Greek guy. In the 90s it was mostly criminals from Yugoslavia causing havoc in Europe. Also Albanians have the drug crime on lock in the UK and are big players in the rest of the continent.

Those assyrians were also very notorious for having been involved and still involve in gangs, even in other countries like the Netherlands where i lived.

Infact many of these black gang members in Sweden does not seem to be Somali to me at all, seeing and reading news articles and documentaries.

They have to make us the face of it because we have two strikes against us; being black Africans and Muslims.
 
it’s probably hard to find a career bro. Why do you think alot of reer scandi immigrated to UK?
I believe the main reason was the language barrier. At that time, more Somalis were living in the UK, so people preferred to move to a country where there was already a larger Somali community. However, this reasoning doesn’t apply to the younger generation. They speak Swedish, receive free education, and live in one of the strongest economies in Europe, even better than the UK in terms of GDP per capita.
 
She not some random somali lady as many of you are thinking but recently published and book about the gang violence in rinkeby and I believe she also lost a brother to gangs as well as having an older brother which was respected among the criminals he has chose to leave that path. She a journalist showing her world have some empathy ffs, she as had it rough and im sorry for her and her family these things is just so sad. Many as pointed out her argument and its fully valid because financial income can and is a big factor aswell as parenting and the romationzetion of crime such as rap. But what its fundamentally boils done to is the individual hes or her choices. I remember her brother was once interviewed and they asked him why chose this path, hes answer was I did not do this because I had, no one forced me my father even encourage me not to be a criminal but a simple chose to do it. I think that explains a lot these people are obviously had bad circumstances but that do not stop you from being muslim nor does it stop your morals couldn't even have for their own parents it just a shame and this is coming from a Swedish somali. But would also like to point out its just a fraction of fraction of people who do this stuff especially among somalis these videos seems like its all of the people in Rinkeby are criminals.

Violence in rinkeby as slowly die down many rappers has now turn back to Allah and left that path but a lot of rightwing politicians want to make it appear like its super dangerous they want it to be like that, politicians going there having interviews in bulletproof west come on bro what do think it is faveleas ? none is out to get you making it seem like it raing bullets. Having a propaganda videos with violence and police patrolling the streets just to manipulate the Swedish people and fear mongering to further get them votes in elections. I
