Xaaj has become very expensive for Somalis as FGS puts isbaaro

[TekNiKo]

Last year it was around 3k and now the Religious Ministry make it 5k. This is very bad for the average Somali citizen whose GDP per capita of $309.

The saudi Ministry gives these visas for free to FGS and they make a very nice profit on the back of hard working Somalis

Money hungry profit mongerer.

This is about a 50% increase on last year which is probably the inflation level in Somalia.

Makes sense. It is similarly expensive in other countries

There were rumors that MrCheese remnants politicized Xaj hopefully Qoslasye corrects thingd if true

50% increase is not natural at all the max inflation for one year would be around 8%

Somalis in the past used to just hop on a dhow ship from northern somali ports straight to the hijaz, and then get on a caravan to makkah and madinah. Was cheap.

that’s true but you had to watch out for heavy seas & highway bandits if they docked at Aden.

No it’s not. Hajj costs in similar countries like Sudan less than 1000

Why to go there if you don’t have money?

 

[Laagite]

PL spoke about this today, they refused the increase. We'll see how it goes. The previous fee was $3500 is too much as it is, they should drop the xaaj fees to around $1500

This is what happens when you let urur diimeed run your economy. They monopolize everything and then bleed you dry.
