Why are there more Somali women in the UK than somali men?

I was reading the Wikipedia page for Somalis in the uk and I came across this that surprised me :
“The Somali-born population of the UK includes a disproportionate number of females in comparison with the general population. Analysis of data from the Labour Force Survey by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) suggests that 61 per cent of the Somali-born population in 2006/07 was female.[87] Of the 101,370 Somali-born residents of England and Wales recorded by the 2011 Census, 57,042 (56.3 per cent) were female.[88] The equivalent figure for the UK as a whole from the previous census, held in 2001, was 54 per cent.[89]Expressed as a sex ratio, the 2011 figure suggests that there were 78 Somali-born men per 100 Somali-born women, compared to the overall sex ratio for England and Wales of 97 men per 100 women.[90]
 
Isn't this true for Somalia as well? There are more women there too.

Maybe more girls are born to Somali families in general.
 
A full 22% of somali men in the uk have been murdered?

Uncles being polygamous, having wives in different european countries or elsewhere( I know one ) and returning back home.

This ratio is skewed by this, I expect this to become more equal as older and more habaryars retire back home. Men have been more active in this regard
 
Daqaan celis, sent back to Somali by the government and go see the family on the side that first family don’t know about in Somalia/Other country.

Take your pick.
