[Kool-Aid]

I like Syrian food but,
I don't want Syrians to rule the Somali economy.

 

[4head]

Syrians are educated and nice people.

I have met quite a lot of them back in 2016.

I hope their country will recover fast from war and destruction.

 

[Ascended Farax]

mashallah we immensely benefited from Syrian professionals, lets hope more immigrate to Somalia. We should also ban Egyptians from Somalia as most prove to have fake degrees.

 

[Sophisticate]

Syrians were hospitable to Somalis when they were doing well. And they have many skilled migrants.

So the Syrian dentists opens a clinic and it suddenly becomes one of the best in Mogadishu.

He also says he is a Somali citizen and his family is learning Somali. If Bantus can be Somali why not Syrians?

Welcome Syrian!

 

[codewebsduh]

I hope Mogadishu becomes diverse, the biggest problem is that people like @Woke1.4rm.Shibis will try to blow it up after it grows.

I don't mind a few but they can't dominate the Somali economy. Somali economy should be controlled by Somalis. Not foreigners.

Idi Amin had the same thoughts look at Uganda now, we need foreigners the more the better.

You have a slave mentality wanting foreigners to save you. I want Somalis to be a the top of the totem pole, not foreigners. Those who have the wealth control the country. I don't want foreigners having the wealth at that point it's not Somalia anymore.

 

[Dontcomefome]

I will say the best Arabs I think of are Syrians humble, and good people who took in Somalis back in the day not that the Yemeni didn't but Somalia needs to be for Somalis, and citizenship restricted to being Somali.

why are you calling me a slave, Somalia is a capitalist country if Somalis can't compete with outsiders thats on them

 

[KobeBryant]

Arabs do that in African American hoods too.

The real slave mentality is thinking that a few poor arabs will ever have that much of an influence in Somalia.

[THE SOMALI POLYGLOT]

It can be dangerous to host a lot of levantine ayrabs. It can become like the Ivory coast that has all of its economy controlled by lebanese

 

[HIBAQ123]

Syrians deserve help.Yemenis deserve to be beaten, raped, set on fire.....you know, the things they did to Somalis in the 90s

Js can't run businesses like Somalis do, don't compare us to them

"Who are the Lebanese in Côte d'Ivoire?
The large Lebanese community in Côte d'Ivoire, some of which has been in the country for generations, owns the largest companies in the country and accounts for 8% of the national GDP."

I don't think we have this slave mentality as west africans do but let's not get too confident either
