waa yaab asomalida ree minasotta ma qaar muqdsho kunoqday iyo qaar dhilooyinka kaganacsada baa qiyaalkoodii uqaybsameen intay qabiilka kashaqeynayeen
I realized why we are losing our girls in the community. It is this gangs who are corrupting our sisters. May Allah destroy them. They will spend 15 years to life in prison. I was wondering what is taking our sisters from their homes.
i’m wondering when these people would stop making excuses blemin others, and start taking responsibility their duties as parents, the problem is the parent not kids, espcially father side not stabin up, all they do is drinkin tea in Fadhi gutiri and talke.
waa layabay somalia masan ba udanbaysay folxumadan iyo gabdhah yaryar lagbecmushtaro
First, I am really glad that they gangs and pimps are revealed and it become universal news Of course, it has been something the Somali community has been denying for years. I even visited Minneapolis, and saw two Somali guys around the age of 20 bring young Somali girl, so beautiful you would consider her those a lucky man would marry, sell and encourage each other in the relative, “aha, you, don’t care negga, du ur bogey bang-bang, and geta out”. The dude lives in E Building of Riverside but I don’t know where the other guy lives. The Somali community has been denying and considers it as if this kind of sexy trafficking has never happen.
The reality is, sexy trafficking take place in Puntland, South Somalia, South Africa, Libya, Ethiopia, Kenya, United States, Kenya, Canada, and all the major countries Somalis live for three important reasons.
1) The young girls are dispossessed, depressed, and deprived. They have no other option but to accept the welcome of gangs who pretend they are very sympathetic to their suffering lives. The girls usually came with relatives, not with their families. Of course, the main reason was that they will send money “heaven=west) for their immediate family, but those they came with abuse, beat, and deny them for basic freedom of even doing homework, going to school, or enjoying their lives by having friends. They also cry and want their parents. Others are even disposed by their own parents who simply don’t want to accept the cultural changes and would kick their kid if he does not pray or follow restrict religious orders the parents even don’t follow simply because of their circle of concerns wider than their circle of influence. Indeed, the girls need money. Guys can stay for months without getting dollar but a girl can’t, for she needs basic services a guy might not need, such as pads. These girls live under the most oppressive enslavement that you can’t really image. Other girls live under unstable family where the father abandoned kid. Some the father go to Africa to marry another wife and divorced their wives he is not coming back or just move to different state. And course, depressed illiterate single mother is another invisible disease. On other hand, mothers are acting like teenagers, bring boyfriends when they deny their girls to have friends, or don’t teach basic Somali culture. This is reality not fiction, whether you believe it or not.
2) Boys also have problems that led them to become gangsters because these boys are also suffering from lack of role models, fathers, and mothers. They are threatened to be arrested, kicked out of their home by their mothers because here in the United States, “man are nothing because women have the power”. It is the mentality of Somali mothers who are so literate and don’t understand the basic gender equality and human rights but they over exercise or misconstrued the individual freedom women gained here in the West. They assume lying to the police by saying, “my husband beat me, my son did this or that to me” would lead the police to immediately arrest the son or husband simply because she is woman and is right. Thus this distortion gives her, “you are a woman and you have the power”. Do you understand where the problem is coming from? Of course, families have disagreements and problems but threatening your son or husband with police by abusing and then emasculating and enslaving is very censurable incidents that takes place in the Somali communities, but we ignore because we all like to say, praise woman and say “woman are doing all the right things”. Of course, the backbone of Somali society has ALWAYS been women. I personally wouldn’t have survived if my mother was not both the mother and father. However, I still face the silly threats of my mother, even if we have slight disagreements. She says, “Don’t tell or agree with me or I will kick you out, call the police, or do this/ that to you”.
3) Thus, it is very true, “what goes around comes around”. When the young boy is threatened, faces financial disparity, and isolation. He has no other option but to seek someone who hears, accepts, and listens to him. And the problem begins when the police gives first warning, citation or probation because a mother or sister called the police for domestic abuse when the whole thing is nonsense arguments. Then, little by little crimes pile and fill the record of warning, or probations. Finally, when the young boy joins gangs, or does illegal thing, he is who ends up convicted simply because of all these small crimes. And course, the lawyer, the judges, and the police are all white men who don’t know the basic Somali culture, problems. The boys can’t open up or share with white men with their family problems and do not know the legal system. The first court he goes gives him the plea he is “encourage to accept” which admitting the crime so he could face “only” 1-3 year probation and few months of jail. To white judge 1-3 probation for black kid is very short and the boy loses the option of going to higher court where the small crimes are highly likely dismissed. Thus the young boy becomes felony at the age of 18 and his life is totally destroyed by that time. I used “HE” instead of they, because it is very personal and more appropriate to describe to the issue because it is an issue every Somali convicted boy faces separately.
And for all of these strong reasons, I do not blame these kids but the mothers, fathers and elder Somalis who ignore the realities. I strongly and specifically condemn Somali fathers. We have been surviving for years because our women are both filling the gap and men Somali fathers, especially over 40yrs and above fathers are not taking the responsibilities they owed to the community. Our youth need parents who talk and listen to them. Of course, I used have problem with my mother because I refused to get up 5:00 in the morning to pray. She threatened and kicked me out of home. Why does she care if I follow Islam or not? She did not know or understand what was bothering me the most because I could share with her. I feared I could worse punishments if I revealed my problems. I was depressed and thought about taking committing suicide for months. For example, I thought about showering with gas and then hanging myself while I also shot myself on the forehead simultaneously. My biggest problem was that I my father refused to talk to me at the age of 10. I sometimes see walking around with other brothers he loves and it makes me deeply cry and suffer. So I thought ending my life will alleviate the pain. However, I find out my mother didn’t care of my death because she thought I was “disgraced”. That is when took when I thought was revenge, going to college and graduate with honor. I am glad I have degree and decent job today.
However, lots of young guys can’t do that because they have never been independent. I grow up as an independent because I was a nomad camel herder for many years and that greatly helped me to become resilient of all of chaotic I faced in life. I get out of all these without single help of my family. I am glad I did but please know, lots of young kids can’t do that and that is why they are doing these deplorable crimes. I know they could have thought better, but it is time Somali elders listen and become open-minded.
First, I dearly apologize sending the comment before revised it. It is full of mistakes, but hope you understood where my frustration was coming from.
Second, the Somali media and the government should have kept the identity of girls very secret. I already know two of the girls. I went high school with one of them and it is very deplorable that you revealed their identity. These girls need serious rehabilitation. They might feel disgrace or ashamed. Our community is very religious and it makes girls very hard to assimilate or become accepted. Of course, we live in the west, but I believe revealing the identity of girls was very bad idea. Very bad idea even if they were masters. Surely, they also surely coerced and manipulated by male gangsters. Please, do not publish the identity of girls if this kid of incident happens. We should take the reasonability of face-saving for our girls, than revealing because this might lead them to farther isolation and infidelity.

Those kind of ppl are from SOMALI LAND cuz they’re so barbaric and all those ppl that got arrested are from SOMALi LAND!! GUARANTEED!!!!!! STUPID NON-MUSLIMS
waa layaab haddii ay somalidii mn. ay noqdeen kuwa gado gabdhaha walaalhood ah oo ay ka gadaan niman ajnami ah waa wax aad u fool hun. iam so sorry somali ppl?
“YEAH” sorry but there are very few Somalilanders even living in Minnesota so your hypothesis is highly inaccurate. Hate to break it to you but actually none of them are from Somaliland because people from Somaliland do not need to rob, steal, or cheat to get money. We have something called umm JOBS! Yeah you we work and then acquire salaries legally. So get off your food stamps using, over grown, baboon looking self of the keyboard and look for a life! Dont ever talk about Somaliland.
(FYI Many of the Somali immigrants in the United States are from Southern Somalia. We, Somalilanders, do not really have to leave our safe, beautiful region. You probably left Somalia because you were starving at some damn refugee camp! ) lol
VIVA SOMALILAND!

Greeting to all.
Brothers and sisters and all the grey headed intellectuals our community had unique culture
that stops all the evil acts within our society but today things are different the way how it was in the previous years.we are all Muslims guided and governed by the sharia law.As immigrant the USA government gave as equal rights to worship ,work, schooling as well as life.In most places our community leave in low income houses and section 8 and free studies but our community never appreciate what ever services given to them. Surely is dilemma, we are like poisonous snakes grown into a cage and when ever in mature stage pitied the person who rares.Look how many gangsters are reported are reported disturbing the society who gave us a helping hand,cordial welcome instead of appreciating whatever they have done for us,please i inform all parents in any state of USA and elsewhere in the world to teach their kids how to respect others and teach them away of life so that they they maintain discipline in all walks of life.I give much thanks to USA government

Walalo I realy don’t understand what your problem is !!!!!!!!!!!! Some moms don’t even know whether kids are alive or dead and here you are with a GOD send mother who ‘s issue is for you to bettter yourself and get to Jannah. And you are talking about how you wanted to commit suicide!!!!!! Come on brother and you took revenge by going to college you gotta be kidding me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If it wasn’t for your mother ,you would have never achieved anything and if you’ve been college , I would suggest you back there .You clearly can’t spell to save your life. I understand that are our community needs help and education but inorder to do that you need to understand the cause. The parents you are blaming have suffered so much from war to depression. It’s not them that can improve things it should be us . We have been given a clean slate and a safe environment to flourish in ,and instead you are writting this ungratefull rubbish about how your life was hell because you were told to pray. You haven’t fled your country with countless kids and ever thing you’ve know to keep them safe. And what ‘s the rewards that those parents get ? Having spoilled ,dumb nigger acting they are white and wanting to seek attention. By drinking, gang affiliation,prostitution and so on.
You want to help your community ,GET EDUCATION AND BE A GOOD ROLE MODEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KNOW YOUR RELIGION AND CULTURE. PRAY AND WORK FOR THE AFTERLIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DON’T BE WRITNG POINTLESS ARTICLES AND DIVERSE FROM THE REAL ISSUE.
