Return To Somalia follows young Somalis on a journey of re-discovery back to their homeland. From London, we meet Adam and Abdi, two young, energetic men who run an NGO set up to help eradicate inter-tribal discrimination in Somalia and across the world.

Very interesting documentary. It seems worse than how people paint it to be honest. There was that weird bit at the start where a policeman tries to abduct them. What was that about? Does it happen regularly?

This.

Somalis exaggerate everything. When the War happened they said everything was a total wreck which is true but many elements of life still existed. Now there is somewhat minimal peace, it's being spoken of like a Utopia.

They mean anti-clannism because a tribe speaks its own language has its own culture etc

@abakar
Exactly. Throughout the whole thing, you could feel the tension. Xamar has serious security issues to be honest.

I was wondering with the policeman asking them to go see them (the police) in the office! :|

This is the first I am seeing someone being told to go to the police station in the airport. This doesn't happen at all. I am not sure why they did that, but it sure looks suspicious.
