Somaliland Government to Expel All Illegal Immigrants

[anonymousfaarax]

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

This is much needed and deserves nothing but applause Manshallah Somaliland for Somalilanders and Somalis. The best nes i've heard from in a while.

I foresee a disaster in the making. Calling on the public to turn in "illegal aliens" usually ends badly for everyone.

Classic markings of a witch hunt, not good.

This makes no sense at all.

Are these people taking welfare from the SLand government? Are they taking jobs? Are they a drain on the economy? Sounds like the SLand government is getting rid of poor people just because they don't like the look of them, if that is how a country chooses to behave then at least do us a favour and erase the shahada from your flag.

wish it was that simple but like i said you have to go there and see it for yourself, it easier said from afar! walahi would take those words back quicker then usian bolt springing from his block

If I went there now what would I see?

Gara Man Oromos should stay in their own fertile region and defend it from those who are selling their lands to Indian Millionaires, running away just to waste away in the red sea or to be a abused maid somewhere in Saudi Arabia for a fat abusive Arab will not solve anything.

I agree with you. Oromos should not migrate despite the hard ships they face. They should stay in their native land and try somewhat to better the local economy.

Indeed. Besides most of Ethiopia's economy comes from the Oromia region(through the large coffee exports and other things) unfortunately though what comes out from that region is invested in other regions in Ethio. They need to fight for their rights.

It does actually.

Are these people taking welfare from the SLand government? Are they taking jobs? Are they a drain on the economy?

Yes, yes and yes. Their children attend the free primary schools of Somaliland whilst some Somaliland children cannot (this is indirect welfare). Yes they are taking jobs from the local population. They are a drain on the economy with all the constant begging and their use of the resources e.g. water, charcoal, foodstuff and other basics which raises prices. They, at least some, also bring their unwanted culture, illnesses, criminality etc. Lastly they represent a huge security risk. I don't know from what angle you looked at this but it makes complete sens

This is good if carried out

Gara man

With all due respect The Oromo immigrants bound to the middle east and europe and whose only stay in SL is short term are not the problem.

Every nation state on earth recognized or not reserves the right to set a mandate on who crosses its borders.It's a misleading to say these immigrants are running away from violence or prosecution when their lands are as peaceful and offer same if not more oppurtunities as somaliland.

In contrast, The Somalilnaders who migrated to Ethiopia to escape the violence found temparary shelter in places like daroor and harshin refugee camps. These areas are all in Somali zone 5.

bv you seem like a nice girl from streatham!, how do you feel about those Romanians gypsies who appear to be muslim begging and harassing people for five pounds in london's high streets and tube stations?

Sure kick out all Oromo refugees like thats gonna solve all your problems. Your former British Protectorate known to the world as Somaliland will have a harder time trying to get recognition status now they are planning to get evict oppressed refugee seeking immigrants. I don't know why these Somalilanders think theres this secret mission of Oromos to colonize Hargeisa or something? Oromos could care less for that place. They are using Somaliland as a hub to reach Arabia, and from there on to Europe. You people like to complain about Oromos there are jobless and destitute and poor, yet Somaliland is place where 70% of the people there are unemployed. This is not because of Oromos. Even when you guys had your own leader bomb your own town, alot of these people migrated to Ethiopia, especially in Oromia, yet faced no forms of discrimination. Now today when you have those roles reversed they do the exact opposite. This shows lack of compassion for human life and are xenophobic to the extreme. These are not acts for which a government who desperately earns to seek international recognition commits.But my personal opinion of the matter is Oromos should not migrate and stay where they are.

The world you speak of does not care for Oromos. Frankly it is not even known that they are refugees, they are more like economic migrants. No one says this will solve all problems but it is a simple case of cost benefit analysis and your people contribute nothing. What do we benefit from being a springboard to Arabia for you ? When you say Somalilanders fled to Ethiopia during their independence war, don't you realise they only whent to their relatives across the other side of the porous border between Somaliland and Somali Region (the hint is in Somali) mostly fleeing to the Somali region and not Oromia as you'd have us believe. Recognition has nothing to do with this.

Oromos should do more than just not migrate. OROMOS should go to OROMIA and liberate and develop it. We will do what we have to and I suggest you do the same. Come to us when you propose a mutually beneficial relationship. Its a dog eat dog world, yaa wax ka galeen if a few oromos laba farood dhexdood ka dhacaan

How can non-citizens get free education while SLand citizens can't? Whose fault is that?

Yes they are taking jobs from the local population

Bring forth some facts. You can't say in one post that they are unskilled workers who sit around and beg and in the other say that they are taking jobs.

They are a drain on the economy with all the constant begging

If this sentece makes sense to you please slap yourself

their use of the resources e.g. water, charcoal, foodstuff and other basics which raises prices

Them paying for your water, charcoal, foodstuff and other basics actually means they are putting money into your economy and helping local businesses


Dude you are chatting rubbish, in the most respectful way since I have never spoken to you. If this is true then it just sounds like a government eager to please its people by picking on the least popular of the society. You lot should be hanging your heads in shame.

[BlackVelvet]

bv you seem like a nice girl from streatham!, how do you feel about those Romanians gypsies who appear to be muslim begging and harassing people for five pounds in london's high streets and tube stations?

Are you serious? Dude did you never go to duksi? Were you not raised in a Muslim household?

If someone raises their hand to me I don't care where they're from or how often they go around begging, I help them if I can. You know how much of a bigot you sound right there? Giving charity is part of our religion, it is not your place to go around calculating how many other people the person you refused to give a fiver to went to to ask for money.

Seriously you don't understand how out of this world this argument seems to me coming from a MUSLIM and a SOMALI. Our whole economy is built on aid! It doesn't make one bit of sense!!!!!

[Somalistan]

mama teresa the world does not work like that. We have borders, flags and laws that seperates countries. SL is only asking illegal immigrants to leave those came with no documents or ambition to do good. It seems harsh but it must be done or you and I will be speaking Afaan Oromo and probably be fed to the sharks afterwards.

The oromos living in somaliland are not being productive. They beg on every street corner.The first couple of days they would say adeer lacag ii sii. And i would say lacag ma haysto.Then they would say slick stuff like allahay ha ina wada siiyo. then i would say amiin. But isnt this what somali's do in yemen.
Haybaad waxad ku leedahay dhulkaga hooyo
Let everyone beg in there home land,its better

[BlackVelvet]

I reckon the hypocricy of such a move is too obvious to deny. Politicians as usual are creating the illusion of a "common enemy" to build support. It is so not our culture to turn people away because they are poor and have to beg.

There is no justified economic reason to kick them out. The social reasons make you sound like BNP, which is a testament to the short memory and hypocisy of humans.

You know how many Somalis including Somalilanders entered countries all over the world as illegal immigrants? wallahi this is one of those situations where you just have to laugh at the irony.
