Somalis residing in Egypt, how is the country overall?

coz we wuz kangz

I think it's because of the Arab league of something.. Egyptians are Arab nationalists often (Arab nationalism came from there with Nasser). They also accept Syrians.

Why does Egypt hand out refugee status to Somalis, but not other Africans?

Because we look Egyptian

And Egyptians dont usually have a problem with Somalis unlike other arabs

Doubt it.

It's mainly for Arab league good will.

One of them almost knocked me out, his friend was holding him after I said kusumak to him for making kissing noises at me. They will knock your teeth out so no point fighting back.

Worst thing about Egypt are the people. You'll never meet a sane Egyptian they are always on the extreme end of the spectrum. Liberal,religious, nationalist etc... Crime is rampant in poor and low-middle class areas (95% of the country) murder, assault, rape, theft are on daily occurrence and somewhat tolerated by police. Local hijabi Muslim woman has grown accustomed to sexual harassment waaba local tradition in metropolitan areas to flirt and hit-on walking women, with or without Hijab is a fair game.

Never knew Egypt was this trashy, I really wanted to see the Sphinx up close

They treat tourists with respect as they contribute to their livelihood, now even more than ever as they face economic slowdown. Average Egyptian is taught from young age to respect and overcharge foreigners. You will be fine as long as you haggle.

I've lived in Egypt for 9 years and occasionally go back to see family, let's just say the men are the biggest pervs I've ever come across . They will catcall every women on the street. Egyptian women are even creating their own taxi just for women because of sexual harassment.

Thats terrible..

I have never lived in Egypt, but I lived in Damascus, Syria for a year in my teens and people were very respectful there of women.

Not to mention the country was extremely clean and beautiful.

And if they found out you were American, you became a celebrity:siilaanyolaugh:

I heard Syria was very secular. Were people oppressed by the gov ? It's sad to see how an ancient country is destroyed by the civil war

People there were very afraid of the government, and treated mentioning the presidents name in public like Harry Potter characters treat saying Voldemort in public

Definitely not secular as you had Quran taught in public schools, I should know as I attended 7th grade there.
