They do have it. Idk if youve seen those camera videos in xamar where they corner cars or people at gun point to take their money and sometimes they will take the person as well. Theres also drugs (not khat) thts in the city. Criminals didnt come cuz of hip hop lmao

Almost every capital or large city in the world will have some form of gang activity, even in the wealthiest and most developed nations since they are often the largest and most economically diverse urban areas in the country. Ultimately Xamar doesn't have any major gang problems like you see in Detroit, Chicago, Cape Town, San Pedro, Port-au-Prince ect, the city is relatively safe and being mugged by gangsters is rare let alone having some major drug activities happening.

Another thing to point out. Countries with mass poverty have mass crime, Somalia does not follow this pattern.

While Somalia faces challenges like political instability and terrorism (Al-Shabaab), it does not experience the kind of mass street crime, gang violence, robbery and lawlessness seen in other poor countries.

Unlike countries with widespread petty crime (pickpocketing, muggings, scams),

-Somalis rely on trust-based business practices. Honor and reputation matter—in Somali society, being caught stealing can damage your status permanently.

Even in Tokyo, which is overall a pretty safe city, they still have their share of quasi/semi-gangs that sometimes harass or rob people at night. They’re referred to as “Hangure” , basically juvenile delinquents. These aren’t full-fledged organized criminal gangs like the Yakuza, or like Al-Shabaab in the Somali context. It’s usually just youth who feel alienated in inner-city areas. It really is a universal urban phenomenon

So the same applies to Mogadishu. These types of petty semi-gangs tend to stick to peripheral or rundown areas, not the central districts or residential neighborhoods where most people live and work.

But overall, Mogadishu is pretty safe. I wasn’t exaggerating when I said that foreigners walk around freely and actually feel safer in Xamar than they have in many other cities.

What you said about Mogadishu doesn’t align with reality. People walk freely through its shopping areas and restaurants , no gangs of beggars following them, no aggressive vendors, no pickpocket mobs. Just look at the countless vlogs and walk-throughs on YouTube.

I feel super safe in Mogadishu, Somalia #somalia#adventuretravel#traveler

There aren’t scammers or hagglers swarming visitors. In fact, Reddit posts and visitor reviews consistently point out how calm, low-key, and respectful the atmosphere is , especially compared to other regional capitals.

A lot of them have started calling out the media narrative that paints Mogadishu as a dangerous place, especially compared to the clickbait YouTubers who borrow from those stereotypes in their videos.

This guy literally said he felt safer in Mogadishu than in Birmingham:

London is the type of place where you park your car in an area and come back to it with the tires slashed and mugged while you walk back home by a random masked man in broad day light in the middle of the day

The reality is that second generation immigrants like us always have identity problems since we are basically westerners with a second culture that is foundational to our identity. This creates a massive alienation problem. We are neither fully westerner nor are we fully somali. In our attempt to solve this we try to reconnect to our somali roots and take an intrest in somali culture. This has become increasingly common as the diaspora comes of age

That identity crisis goes hand in hand with youth alienation. I’ve noticed it’s the same for Arabs and other Muslim youth too.

The ones who seem to fare best are those who find a middle ground between both identities.

If they fully shun either side, they risk isolating themselves or constantly feeling like they’re going against the grain.

Its why I recommend diaspora kids visiting back home just so they can develop a decent understanding of themselves

They’re so dumb it’s unbelievable. He tweeted that to 1) dunk on madows in general 2) dunk on us 3) distance his people from tweets about immigrant crime even tho they’re def involved. I don’t understand how they can be so ignorant and not see what’s going on. The Somalis on that weird side of muslim twitter but it’s not really muslim twitter because they think they’re above other muslims don’t have any caqli. Idc if people get mad at me for saying this as a gaal but they’re the only people pushing the ummah stuff besides tjs (who are distancing themselves from that because of all the cuunsuri arabs on that side of twitter) while other muslims are quick to throw us under the bus. I feel like some people can’t be saved tbh like idk how they can’t see this [/SPOILER]
