Channel 4 News releases a video drawing attention to Somalis tahribing to the West & the horrors they endure on their safar. Dahir Alasow is featured.

Many Walanweyns have been doing this route for the past year now. Mogadishu to Algeria and then Spain, usually Ireland or Belgium afterwards. I'd say they make up a clear majority of the Tahribis at this point.

I sympathise with people leaving but why now when places like Mogadishu or Bosaso are improving? It can't be that bad to the point where you have to traverse across the entirety of the African continent.

Who cares what route they take , do you know that many people came to Germany and Holland in the last 10 years from Somaliland. They took the Libya to Italy route which is even more dangerous because they risk being kidnapped and being held for ransom. People all over the horn are doing tahriib including Ethiopians, Eritreans and Sudanese and yes even landers.

I thought the north was prospering, or are they just exaggerating? Can’t be that good if they risk Libya route to europe or am I tripping

Don’t bother clicking and giving this propaganda a view.

Yes there is safety and security compared to the south but the main reason why people do tahriib is because there is high youth unemployment. Most are between 18/19 to late 20’s.

The problem is there are no jobs back home, imagine graduating after years of study and you can’t find a decent job because you don’t have the connections.

Plus the Somalis that go abroad have this weird tendency to show off a non existent life on social media. A qaxooti that lives in a asylum processing camp will post pictures next to a random BMW car and post that stuff on TikTok/Facebook, the ones back home don’t understand that life as a refugee is very hard and it takes years to settle and build a good life.

If they’re still dumb enough to believe the internet after all these years….

Less than 1% of migrants entering the country between 2018-2024 btw. Only Somalis could make themselves the poster child for this despite these odds, you have to admire the work rate

When you factor in that many Africans lie to asylum and claim they’re Somali (many Ethiopians do that), it probably crashes. Like, every time I see pictures of asylum seekers in Europe, it’s not common to see a Somali anymore.

when will we ever have something good shown to us in the media. It's either tahriib, poverty or crime. I'm tired.

If you don’t write your own story someone else will write it for you.

Yeah, I understand that there’s the issue of no jobs but that might actually be a good sign for a developing country with a growing economy, instead of using the money you’ve collected to flee to the west, stay home and band together with similarly educated people to invest in this society, no engineering jobs? Get like minded people and potentially work with the government/get contracts to build a foundational institution dedicated to improving the engineering scene within the country, this would lead to potential home grown lawyers getting involved to regulate safety standards which leads to more jobs etc, these governments are desperately in need of such initiatives and would love to spend money on reliable people who are home grown and educated.

This is the kinda mind set that helps countries grow and improve and the educated ones should be the pioneers not the first ones to disappear. It’s a long and slow process but it’s the safer one with a better success rate as opposed to the dangerous trek to flee to the west.

Lots of djiboutians and itoobiyaan living on the Oromo border too. But that route has slowed down a lot now due to the war in Sudan.

It’s pretty funny how people don’t mind tahriibing through Libya where they risk kidnapping, but they won’t tahriib through Sudan which is just a tribal war. Lol

Do you know how much it costs to get to the west? A lot of money the people leaving are the ones with money costs like 30k usd to attempt this trip. I saw it being discussed online. I was wondering why would someone that could come up with that kind of money leave when they could literally spend it there and have a quality life i don't understand.
