Why does the U.S only want Somali refugees?

Post by Voltage »

The U.S has decided to resettle only Somalis from among all the refugees in Uganda which include refugees from Somalia, Rwanda, Sudan, Congo, Burundi, Kenya and Eritrea.

In one refugee camp that houses many refugees, all 6,000 Somalis have been taken by the U.S.

The question is why? I think I said here before I read something that said at the time Somalia went into civil war, 30 nations in Africa had on going civil wars with some countries having more refugees then the entire population of Somalia yet the West flocked to Somalia and started mass resettlement. What is so special about Somalia that we don't know?

Maybe it has to do with the fact Somalia is the only 99.99% Muslim country in Africa with a single culture and language, largely illiterate nomadic people sitting on a very prized strategic land with ginormous amount of unexploited mineral and natural resources.

Maybe this is a motive. :lol: :|

Maybe it has to do with the fact that Somalia is currently one of the worst place to live in. Dadaab Refugee camp is the world's largest camp and Millions of Somalis are in danger of mass starvation. Who wouldn't want a Somali in their country?

DRC went through alot though.

Congo is 100x more Rich recourses wise than Somalia. Heck they are more rich recourse wise than any nation in Africa, so I don't see if that is the logic Why they wouldn't resettle Congoleese people first?

I have no idea, maybe somalis are clever rafugees, doing something that convinces the agencies into relocating them to the US, maybe Obama had something to do it with lol, I dont know but it is kinda strange.

Who cares why. Be happy that 6,000 Somalis have been given a chance for a better life.

Personally I would pick the other Africans. :up:

Also it's a bit shameful that some folks here seem to take pride in refugee statistics, shows how truly down Somalia is.

America already has its fair share of African Bantus in the form of AAs, perhaps America is trying to build it's Kushitic stock.


It might not be resources driven, but there are certainly strategic and geo-political motives.
