The same thing happened with one of my relatives. I don’t know how, but the Somaliland team went to participate in a friendly tournament In Austria in 2012. None of them went back

Western countries still grant somalis asylum? Thought that stopped.

This news reminds me of why eritrea decided to not play the world cup qualifying games. They decided that rather than players defecting they rather not play at all

How embarrassing is it that you can't even compete because players are gonna run away. If I was one of these leaders I would ropemaxx from the ceeb.

Running away to Europe to live off welfare and work a minimum wage job. That's the prospect so many of our people die for. Sad really.
