I don't think it matters if there are a thousand high achieving somalis on your street, if your father is absent, or not too concerned about your schooling, interest general day to day life it will affect you immensely. Positive role models are not a replacement for a present, engaged father. I think its fair to say that that is one of the issues @ work along with many others that help our young boys to go astray. I was really surprised at the treatment these kids were getting back home, a gentle introduction to life in Somalia haha, mch nicer than many previous dhann celis kids have had. I think after this period of rehabilitation its important to help them find a role in society, the money from mum and dad needs to dry up and they need to think about how to earn their keep. Well said Chubacka. I can't stress enough the importance for children both boys and girls to have a good father figure. And that doesn't end with having a father who works so he can meet his financial obligation to his family. Like chimera said many somali men own business and others are employees. So bringing home cheques isn't enough they need to spend quality time with their children in particular their sons. It is really heart breaking to see fathers who work hard interms of getting up every morning to earn and yet ku khasaraya caruurtooda siiba wiilasha. Working everyday is pointless hadaad dadkaad u shaqeenasid faaido kasoo socon. Blessed, thanks hun.

Showqi lol macnaha basar waan aqaan walaal. I thought it was an established fact that my somali is off the hook Haa blessed ilmaha yar waa in ay somaalidu ku dadaasha say bari dhalinyaradoodu uga halaabin. Halakanba 30 bay kor u dhafeen dhowaan inama kuligood naftooda u waayey mala yacni iyo wax daran in ay faraha la galaan. Mana aha dad iska lumay ee waa dad yagoo yar jidki wanaagsana ka leexday. Ilaahay hano sahlo hadaan soomaali nahay. 20 sano aya dhibtan badan naso gadhay..I can only imagine few generations down the road.

You can't send an adult who is 20 plus and expect them to change overnight simply because you ship them to Africa.But, the parents are trying and in the video the man said those parents are in despair so I feel for them. Hope something comes out of it althou it is too late. Discipline your children when they are kids. Don't wake up when they are adults and cry about it.

I seen this before. The cutest kid alive.

you guys might be interested in looking up a Polish-Israeli intellect by the name of Shlomo Sand. He wrote in "Israel" a best selling controversial book called "The Invention of the Jewish People" which questions the legitimacy of the Israeli State. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shlomo_Sand http://inventionofthejewishpeople.com/ p.s he has not been arrested. Still a free man lol

Somali girls in that part of the world (SL, somaligalbeed) waa dhaqan common u ah, waa la i soo doonayaaye, maxaan yeelaa?? Insist that you believe in calaf - I know you don't, but insist regardless!! Wish her good luck, but always with the nuance that if God meant her for you, you will find get her one day. Seriously, if you love her and think you are ready for marriage, dee iska guurso. :D If you are not, marka horeba maxaad wakhtiga uga luminaysay inanta? U sheeg runta oo try to help her make a good decision. I have seen a number of stories where when a guy goes for the hand of the girl the ladies brag about "dad badan aa soo doonay hada ka hor" and that happens across clan affiliation . I guess pointing out that the girl could have had any guy she wanted to lol...xoga gabadha ay qiimo u yeelayaan baan is idhi. Inkasto I think it is unnecessary. As for a girl telling a guy "im getting married to some dude and im being forced" . That is not a really a good way of telling a guy that you are interested to marry him. If anything you might push him away

On the side of what exactly?..something tells me "isma dhaantiin". Anyways, no one gets forced nowadays. Parents suggest but thats about it...for the most part the only ones who their parents force them into their relatives or anyone for that matter are the ones who went out of control. And, the family is trying to cover up for them. Also, if it is causing you some serious issues maybe you should go and propose to her instead. With that been said. I have my doubt about your stories. You have a new one every week or so...and with a new girl. salaam

^ alhamdulilah. I am happy for your family. It will certainly help for the most part - wixi kalle waa ilaahay qadartiis if someone is at the wrong place at the wrong time. Don't worry too much if you know that they are amazing boys. Alle ha u siyaadiyona.

^ anu waxan yaabay maalinta arkay nin "iimaan" la dhoho. LOL at the time I wasnt aware some somali names are for both genders. Sagal wiil la dhohona waa ii dhineed laakin thanks for letting me know lol..

not a fan of somali names generally speaking..but I do like the names kenadiid and looyan.

It looks like Somali gangs are at it again. I don't know when this nonsense will end. Libaax, It will end when the somali community realizes that their boys are out of control and need some serious help. Alle ha u naxaristo
