Sad. If you want to make the trek, at your own risk. But people really need to stop risking their children’s lives.
At least in the west, there is means to pay your bills, mortgage, etc. In these 3rd world countries, there’s not. Work is pride and earning a living is a blessing. People in the west forget that.Life in the west is nothing to die for, it's a rat race with mortgage, bills and tax to be paid plus you wake up early and get home late, year after year this wheel/circle continues until you are old tired and put into a nursing home.. I believe life is much better or can be much better in those countries people are running from risking their life's and limbs on tahriib..
These people are spending thousands of dollars to pay for tahriib instead of investing in business in their own countries.. I know there's poverty but it's never the super poor who go on tahriib from those countries.At least in the west, there is means to pay your bills, mortgage, etc. In these 3rd world countries, there’s not.

Isn’t money they spent years collecting?These people are spending thousands of dollars to pay for tahriib instead of investing in business in their own countries.. I know there's poverty but it's never the super poor who go on tahriib from those countries.
There’s more ways to migrate than on a boat bro, if you jump on a boat to tahriib to a diff country it’s a 60/40 chance you make it and a chance to claim asylum seeker to get permit. I’d never take this chance there’s more ways in Somalia now to get into another countryIsn’t money they spent years collecting?
Being broke in the 3rd world is not fun, worse than paying bills in the west. I think their somewhat ambitious to want to tahrib.
I know of a guy who tahriibed and his dad is in the west before the kid was even born. It's not necessarily that they don't have relatives abroad but rather a disease/ disorder Somalis call Buufis.There are three ways Somalis try to migrate abroad now to the West.
1. Sponsor visas or student visas
2. Tahriib
3. Move to a second world country, get a degree and apply for visas.
Tahriib is the dumbest option and is generally chosen by middle class families back home that can sell a plot of land.
Those that undertake tahriib generally don’t have close diaspora relatives, cause if they did, they would’ve been told of the other avenues.
