I’m not really shocked. There are kids being born and raised there in Somalia. Living there entire lives there.becoming more nationalistic and being proud of the country they live in . Meanwhile you got a shit load of western Somalis who would rather just vacation to Somalia instead of staying their long term and fixing the place up.
Somalia is home for them. Of course they are going to get comfortable. Population is going to grow definitely.
Assuming that their current growth rate continues, half of Southern Somalia will be Somali Bantu soon.
And before you say that's ridiculous, they went from 3% to 9%, from the civil war until 2003, (in all of Somalia, which translates to a higher percentage in the south alone). My guess is that 9% in 2003 is at least 15% today. Do you see a pattern here? They are somehow gaining on us as an overall percentage.
I'm not saying mistreat or hate them, but this is the reality. Big chunks of Somalia will just be a Somali speaking Uganda someday.
