DIASPORA HISTORY: Somalis from Scandinavia/Holland in the UK

Bigger Somali community.

Unofficially there are 250,000 Somalis in the UK, vs the 40-70k in those Euro countries.

Hmm interesting. So youve managed to preserve your bosnian culture so far?
Are there alot of bosnians in scandinavia? Do they share a similar story to yours?

Also, have bosnians in the west returned to bosnia now? Do you intend to return permanently? Why or why not.

Yes, to a large extent. This because my grandparents and parents were very determined to preserve our traditions, values, culture, religion and language.

Most Bosniaks came in the early 90's. I wouldnt say there are a lot of us.

Some Bosniaks have returned, the number is growing. I myself plan to go back to start a business. My older brother did that. A lot of Bosniak youth is rediscovering their ancestral homeland bringing back capital, knowledge and experience to help build the country up.
