The revisionism surrounding the 2016 maid deal is dangerous

HSM understands the Waddani game and propaganda now. He won’t be making political errors like that. Farmaajo showed how much you can abuse that.

The policy however which Parliament didn’t even let happen was to just allow visas into Saudi at a time thousands were making dangerous journeys.

It’s tiring to be arguing over the same for nearly a decade.

If it happens it's extremely rare. I was born and raised here and still live here at the age of 27. You pretty much never hear about Somali maids. Like ever. It's not in any real stats anywhere either. If you ever hear about them it's with Somali families who pretend the girl is a relative.

If Hassan Sheikh decides to send maids to Saudi i Hope somalis living there can hire them to at least give them humane treatment and good employment.

That wasn't just an error. It was a calculated decision to get money by selling his own people to a hostile racist country. Just allowing visas is a different thing, the guy was sending maids because Saudi was having a hard time finding any since many developing countries forbade their citizens from working as maid in Saudi Arabia.

1. Human Rights Watch completely debunked your argument that none were sent there. Many were recruited and sent there.

2. Gulf Somalis like @Shimbiris have already debunked this story of Somalis making dangerous journeys to be maids for Saudis.
