Saudi born Somali journalist deported to Mogadishu

[Arabman]

I truellt love America where it has given opportunities that would've been otherwise impossible in certain countries as a Somali. Long live America. May god continue to bless her.

Menaceoow, let's be honest about why you truly love America. It's the land where an irresponsible fella gets the opportunity to impregnate a woman, father an illegitimate child, deny to not even know his baby momma so that he doesn't pay child support, and virtually go unpunished. Correct?

He should have seen it coming to him, poor guy. I wish the "Haram" was somewhere else.

According to the video he posted he's had problems with the Passport department since the age of 15. It's not based on any tweet as this rather poorly written article suggests.

The poor bastard had a pic of himself with tears streaming down his face on Twitter. Since December, more than 10,000 Somalis have been deported by the Saudis, including many born and bred there like this gentleman.[/quote

I find that hard to believe. I've been on his twitter and saw nothing like that. Look at his video and how he speaks calmly he looks very together to me.SaudiArabia deported thousands of Ethiopians, Somalis, Egyptians & Yemenis and South Asians and even Saudis. There's clips of some programmes on Youtube where born and bred Saudis talk about how their lives were made into a living hell because they were believed to be not Saudis.

There's two reasons why this happens
1) Incompetence, people not doing their job properly,not being sufficiently trained
2) they are fed up with illegal immigrants, especially those who come for Hajj and never ever leave.

Are you seriously defending their deportation policy? Their authorities are trying to divert frustrations and peoples attention towards easy scapegoats. Their deportation blitz in November almost shut down Jeddah because guys doing basic things like janitor work in schools, laundry, and working in bakeries had to go underground. They're claiming their new Iqamah policy is to help Saudis get jobs but everyone knows these jobs would never be filled by Saudis.

Has nothing to do with Hajj, has to do with the draconian work permit that theyre now enforcing that forces cheap labour to be tied to a single employer. People who've changed jobs for a variety of reasons( treatment, pay, etc) were being deported en-masse.

Ironic. He's only Somali from his mother's side.

The Saudiazation push is inherently xenophobic and racist. Why else do you think the Saudis raided neighborhoods like ManfouHa and rounded up any Ethiopian, papers or not and deported them? The stories about Ethiopians doing voodoo magic and sacrificing children in the Saudi press is crazy. Why would I mock the dude, I feel for him and any other victim of the screwed up country's system, including my own family there.

Even before Saudiazation, these heartless pigs have been rounding up Somalis in the kingdom, in the middle of public without any chance to get their things or with their family, and dumping them at Mogadishu without a care for their safety for the last 20+ years.

Lol @ anyone taking Somali tribes seriously.

ps: do you at least wash before you kiss your mother with that mouth?

Menace2Society, don't you have some women to liberate?

My Uncle went to Saudi in the 70's he got a job and in the early 90's they deported him to Mogadishu without giving him time to inform his wife and kids. He left for Nairobi and later went to Cape Town where he resides and is now a South African Citizen.

One thing for sure is I would never buy any crap an arab would try to sell me like being brothers etc.I will mind my business they to should do theirs but not use Islam as a scapegoat.

Passport-wise. His dad holds a Saudi passport but both his parents are ethnic Somalis.

No I am not defending them, the way they are going about it is wrong plus it's just plain dhulm to make people stick with just one job forcing them more and more into poverty.
Having said that, let us not forget that there is a major illegal immigration problem and that many people who come for Hajj just never leave. I am not against Saudization , Qatarization or Emaratisation, it just shows the country is putting its nationals first and I would hope that if Somalia got its shit together it did that as well. Now whether Saudis fill those positions or not shaqadeena maaha, ha qudhmaan for all I care trust me in the end they will have no other option but to do it themselves.

So, your uncle worked in Saudi Arabia without work permit for some 20 years making tons of money, but when he was deported just like others (Somali, non-Somali), you excommunicate yourself from those you considered "brothers"? To you, brotherhood is about a job without work permit and making good money? Pat, I had no idea you were this materialistic!
