If someone from Somalia phones you and you know they chew the devil's plant (khat), would you send them money?
I don't send money to khat addicts, those who drink the hot drink (ykwim) or known criminals.
I suggests everyone does the same. Don't rewards bad behaviour

p.s. a bushel of khat (enough to last a day) apparently costs $25

once i paid their rent cause they spent all their money to balwad. i didnt regret. i just didnt want them to be evicted. that would make their situation even worse.

No, it is horrendously expensive. Extortionate even.

I suppose if someone else is willing to pay for your addiction (remittances) it's a frivolous amount

I mean if it is cheap everybody will buy the drug, if its expensive a lot of people would think twice before they buy it (Xitaa kuwa la biilo
